The second accused person in the matter, Nimi ThankGod   was discharged and acquitted for lack of evidence .

Gracious David West was standing trial for being responsible for the death of women he lured into several hotels in Port Harcourt.

He admitted to killing nine women in different hotels, for which he asked forgiveness in the course of his trial.

But he pleaded not guilty on one charge of murder and conspiracy regarding his 10th victim on Bendel Street in Port Harcourt, saying he only tied her up and left her on a bed.
