Recall that Justice Gideon Kurada of the Kaduna State High Court had discharged and acquitted El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat of all charges levelled against them.

The judge ruled that the charges against El-Zakzaky and his wife were not supposed to be filed, as the state government cannot arraign someone for a crime that was not an offence at the time.
