A Senior Magistrate Court in Karu, Abuja, has dismissed a criminal case against four officials and workers associated with Royal Anchor Estate after the complainant repeatedly failed to appear for the hearing. The defendants, Henry Ortese, Attahiru Musa, Tanko Pani and Abraham Osezu, were discharged in case number CR/124/24.
