The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akurutinga Ayinne, has stated that his decision to discontinue some high profile cases was based on sound legal reason.
Dr Ayinne said he had conferences with defence counsel and the prosecution before he filed notices in court to discharge the accused.
The Attorney-General was speaking at press conference on Wednesday to explain the reason the trials were stopped.
Although the Attorney-General is not obliged by law to explain why a trial is discontinued, Dr Ayinne took the time to give detailed valid reasons for the actions taken by his office.
