The decision was announced by her lawyers at the resumption of hearing of the case before the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, which consequently struck out the mater.
Dame JONATHAN and the Union of Niger Delta Youth Organization for Equity, Justice and Good Governance had dragged SERAP to court over alleged malicious publication calling for her prosecution over a fifteen million dollars fraud.
SERAP responded by filing a preliminary objection, asking the Federal High Court to dismiss the suit with substantial cost.
But the lawyers to the plaintiff yesterday informed the court that they were no longer interested in pursuing the matter.
In dismissing the case; Justice OLATOREGUN BABATUNDE OGALA awarded twenty-five thousand naira as cost against the plaintiff, which is far less that the five hundred thousand naira demanded by SERAP.
