A court in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, has dropped charges against the leader of Nigeria’s senate, Bukola Saraki, relating to forging rules that enabled to get elected, the Reuters news agency reports.
He was charged in June along with his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, who is also no longer facing charges.
They both pleaded not guilty at the time.
President Muhammadu Buhari has been at loggerheads with Mr Saraki as his party did not want him as senate leader.
Mr Saraki is still involved in another court case in which he is accused of false asset declaration, a charge he denies.
