“At the instance of the prosecuting counsel, Rimamsote Ezekiel, this suit is struck out,” the judge ruled.

The prosecuting counsel held that the police was misinformed within the case and apologised for the misinformation.

Wahab Ismail, counsel to Binuyo, stated that the Deputy Chief of Staff was just a mere witness and not a celebration to the said failed business and “cannot be liable within the face of the law.”

He added that the case was instituted to “deliberately cast aspersions on the person of Prince Abdullah Adeyanju Binuyo, who is that the Adegboyega Oyetola, deputy chief of staff to the governor of the state of Osun.

“While it's true that Binuyo was just a mere witness and not a celebration to the said failed business, he can't be liable within the face of the law.”
