Idris Sultan [Courtesy]Popular Tanzanian actor and comedian Idris Sultan has been acquitted alongside his co-accused Innocent Maiga by Kisutu Resident Magistrate's Court following months of court battle. “Also, on April 29, 2021, I issued another adjournment after prosecution failed to bring the witness to the court, and today the prosecution has failed to bring the witness to court,” he said. The Citizen Tanzania further reports that Sultan and Maiga are accused of committing offenses against the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA). However, shortly after Idris and Maiga, were released by the Court, local reports say that they were re-arrested by police officers and taken to Oysterbay Police Station.
