The victim was killed after his abduction on the night of September 23, 2012. However, Justice O.A. Musa of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Bwari area of Abuja discharged and acquitted three conspirators — Saidi Baba Tunde, Banjo Olaniyi and Saliu Afeez.

While two of the persons discharged were arraigned for buying the properties belonging to the deceased, the third accused person reportedly prepared the charm which was used to hit Emefiele and made him unconscious for weeks.

The accused persons were said to have confessed during interrogations by security operatives.

The Certified True Copy of the judgment delivered on October 4, 2018, was obtained by newsmen in Jos on Sunday.
