The pronouncement of Counsel for the State however prompted responses from Magistrate Abubakar Binneh Kamara to enquire for police cyber expert, who was supposed to be cross-examined by Counsel. Representing Threesa Mbyomaya and Bokai Kokofele, Francis Ben Kaifala was conspicuously absent in court as it was mentioned by the court registrar.

Furthermore, Counsel for Theresa and Kokofele also made the similar application earlier made by State Counsel, M L Bull for the matter to be discharged.

 In his wisdom, Magistrate Binneh Kamara said that since there was no prosecution witness and the prosecution had informed that they have no intention to proceed with the matter; he would waste no time to discharged Theresa Mbomaya and Bokai Kokofele.
