The Supreme Court on Friday, dismissed an appeal by the Federal Government seeking to overturn the decision of the Court of Appeal which had cleared former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe, of charges bordering on false asset declaration.
This was reached in a unanimous decision by a five-member panel led by Justice Emmanuel Agim.
The apex court also upheld the nullification of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), judgement that convicted Orubebe over an allegation that he falsely declared his assets in 2007.
