The EFCC arraigned Mahmood October 9, 2019, on a one-count charge bordering on cheating under the Penal Code Law. When the charge was read, the accused pleaded not guilty.
Prosecution counsel, Zarami Mohammed, presented four witnesses and tendered seven exhibits.
The defence counsel opted for a no case submission and subsequently written addresses were filed and adopted, before the case was adjourned to January 23, 2020, for ruling.
While ruling on the matter, Justice Yusuf discharged and acquitted the accused on the grounds that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubts.
