An Accra High Court has quashed the case in which Amina Mohammed, the woman at the centre of an alleged mass rape of passengers on a Tamale bound Yutong bus.

The High Court judge struck out the case for lack of evidence.

Amina, who made the allegation of the mass rape on a Yutong bus at Kubiase, stood trial on two counts of causing fear and panic and deceit of public officer. She pleaded not guilty.

She was arrested in October 2010 in the wake of a highway robbery incident at Kintampo in which she claimed the robbers ordered the male passengers to rape their female counterparts.

The police charged her after investigation, claiming the rape case never occurred in the first place.
