Respite came the way of the former Governor of Bayelsa State, Mr. Timipre Sylva, Thursday, as the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, dismissed the 50-count criminal charge that was entered against ‎by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC‎.

Trial Justice Ademola Adeniyi  dismissed the charge on the ground that it constituted a gross abuse ‎of the judicial process.

He further barred the anti-graft agency from ever filing another charge against Sylva based on the facts of the case that was dismissed yesterday.

Sylva is currently the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the election scheduled to hold in Bayelsa State on December 5.

He was in the charge that was dismissed yesterday, alleged to have connived with three others- Francis Okokuro, Gbenga Balogun and Samuel Ogbuku- and siphoned over N19.2billion from the Bayelsa State treasury between 2009 and 2012.
