He has been on trial for 14 years not until the Appeal Court in Lagos dismissed charges of a conspiracy to murder Kudirat Abiola in June 4, 1996.
The Court in a unanimous decision ruled that there was no direct circumstantial evidence that he conspired with anyone as evidence of prosecution witnesses in that regard were contradictory.
