The case, marked FHC/L/774C/2024, was dismissed by Justice Ayokunle Faji after the prosecution, led by Chief Ajibola Aribisala informed the court that GTCO and the defendants had reached an amicable settlement.

The prosecution confirmed that the allegations against the journalists had been withdrawn, with supporting documents submitted to the court.
