A court in Zambia on Monday acquitted a Nigerian prophet of two charges of trafficking and importation of ephedrine, a prohibited drug.
According to reports, the case against 42-year-old Isaac Amata was thrown out of court after state prosecutors failed to prove the charge.
Wuzup Naija had earlier reported that Zambian authorities arrested the Nigerian pastor for allegedly trafficking 26.29 kilograms of ephedrine, a medication and stimulant drug.
Prophet Isaac Amata, who is known for having predicted that President Edgar Lungu will win Zambia’s 2016 general elections, was arrested by anti-drug officers at the Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka, the country’s capital.
The Nigerian pastor was arrested upon arrival at the airport from Nigeria aboard a South African Airways plane.
