Former Aviation Minister Stella Oduah and her aide Gloria Odita have been discharged from a ₦2.5 billion fraud case by a Federal Capital Territory High Court.
The court ruled in their favor after the prosecution discontinued the case based on a plea bargain agreement ¹ ² ³.
The prosecution retained two companies linked to Oduah, Sobora International Limited and Global Offshore and Marine Limited, as defendants.
