Jigawa State High Court has discharged a young man, Isah Usman (Alias “Niga”), who was earlier arraigned before it for charges bordering on criminal conspiracy and robbery.
Niga was arraigned before Justice Muhammad El-Usman for an alleged robbery that occurred on February 2, 2020, at Chaichai Tsohuwa Village of Dutse Local Government Area, Jigawa State.
In his ruling on Wednesday, Justice El-Usman said the prosecution team failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt as required by law, as it failed to call any witnesses or even provide an exhibit linking the accused to the crime.
Though the prosecution council had two witnesses, it failed to provide them before the court as the trial lasted.
The presiding judge further stressed the need for effective synergy between security agencies; Ministry of Justice and the complainants to ensure that Capital Offences are properly investigated and prosecuted which will help courts to arrive at more just and fair decisions.
Justice Muhammad El-Usman also frowned at how some victims fail to testify before the court of law, adding that this has always been against the law instead of helping justice delivery.
