FCCPC’s lawyer, Daniel Amadi, announced this while addressing Justice James Omotosho of a Federal High Court when the matter was called for arraignment of the defendants.
Amadi said the matter was for hearing, “but we have filed notice of withdrawal filed on August 16”.
He added: “Parties have settled and we agree to withdraw this suit.”
The defence counsel, Rolake Akingbola, did not oppose the application, and Justice Omotosho struck out the charge.
