The Nigeria Police Force has withdrawn a criminal charge filed against Enugu-based estate developer and businessman, Nebo Kingsley, after an internal investigation reportedly found no evidence linking him to a murder case for which he had been accused.
Court documents obtained by SaharaReporters show that the Inspector-General of Police, through the Directorate of Legal Services at Force Headquarters, Abuja, filed a Notice of Withdrawal/Discontinuance in Charge No. E/14C/2026 before the High Court of Enugu State.
The notice, dated May 19, 2026, informed the court that the charge against Kingsley should be discontinued following recommendations from the police legal department calling for further investigation into the matter.
"By this Notice of Withdrawal/Discontinuance, the Charge pending before this Court against the Defendant herein is hereby withdrawn and the Court is urged to strike out," the police legal team stated in the filing signed by J.I. Kpandegh and Vaminu Abubakar of the Directorate of Legal Services.
