A Federal High Court sitting in Kano has discharged and acquitted two men, Ibrahim Jega, 42, and Isah Mai-Gas, 41, for allegedly possessing 1,190 kilogrammes of Tramadol tablets.
The two accused were arraigned by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in 2016 on a two-count charge which bordered on conspiracy and possession of hard drugs.
The duo, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The trial judge, Justice J. K. Daggard set Jega and Mai-Gas free after finding them not guilty of the offences.
“The prosecution failed to prove his case beyond every reasonable doubt.
