The Ogun State Government has
withdrawn a criminal case of illegal
possession of government documents
against a former governorship
candidate of the defunct Alliance for
Democracy, Dipo Dina, seven years
after Mr. Dina’s death.
On Tuesday, a court discharged Mr.
Dina alongside three other accused
persons.
Mr. Dina was murdered in 2009. His
killers have not been identified yet.
He was arraigned in 2007 by the
former administration of Governor
Gbenga Daniel on charges of alleged
illegal possession of state government
documents.
A High Court in Abeokuta presided by
the Ogun State Chief Judge, Olatokunbo
Olapade, adopted the Notice of
Withdrawal of Appeal filed by the
current government of Governor
Ibikunle Amosun.
Mr. Olapade discharged the other three
accused persons, namely, Sola Lawal,
Durosaro Saheed, and Kehinde
Bamgboye, discharged and acquitted.
The state Attorney–General, while
tending the Notice of Withdrawal, told
the court that the decision to withdraw
the case was largely due to the fact
that there was no public interest in
the case.
