Reacting to the story, @Charles Ezeugu said, " This shows that the government has no case against MNK. It has shown that the AGF is unprofessional. What they want to do is just to stall this judgement.
" MNK lawyers should with immediate effect file for bail and seek a redress on the competency of Binta Nyako to preside over this case. Well meaning Nigerians knows that this government has no single evidence against this man. They are just busy doing a gorilla court fight. Judiciary lost its integrity in 2015! "
