The Abuja Federal High Court says it would throw out criminal charges filed against the former governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha by the Federal Government.
The presiding Judge, Inyang Ekwo threatened to strike out the charges following the inability of the Federal Government to serve charges on Okorocha as required by law.
Justice Ekwo granted the request for the second adjournment and warned the government’s lawyer to demonstrate seriousness.
The judge subsequently fixed May 30 for the prosecution to put his house in order.
The counsel to the Federal Government informed the court that he would make efforts until he succeeds in serving the former Imo State governor with the court papers.
