In court order for discontinuance of case under section 77 as read with section 81 of the criminal procedure and evidence code dated February 11, 2023, it has been revealed that in its submitted certificate of discontinuance of Martha Chizuma\u2019s case, the state indicated and pleaded to court that while it is discontinuing Chizuma\u2019s charges, it (the state) might bring the changes later in future against Chizuma\u2019s, therefore the court mustn\u2019t completely bar the state from such.<\/p>\n

The plea was therefore granted by court. This means Martha Chizuma is under a yoke. However, despite that Chizuma has been challenged not to give any excuses for failing to deliver at ACB.<\/p>\n
