The three Nigerians who were put before an Accra Circuit Court in connection with the June 23, Madina Ecobank robbery, and the killing of a police guard, were yesterday discharged.

This follows the withdrawal of the charges against them by the police. No reason was given.
Daniel Pedro, (aka Oghenervena), Festus Suleman and Israel Otubu, were facing two counts of conspiracy and robbery.

When the case was called yesterday, ASP Reindorf Agyemang, the prosecutor, informed the court that he received a letter from the Deputy Regional Police Commander that the charges be withdrawn.
