NASSAU, BAHAMAS – In a shocking turn of events, Long Island Member of Parliament Adrian Gibson has dropped his complaint against contractor Gregory Miller.

Gibson told Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt that after prayerful consideration he has forgiven Miller and wishes him the best.

Miller was on trial on charges of attempted intentional libel and intentional libel.

Prosecutors alleged that on December 31, 2018, Miller attempted to defame Gibson, who was then Executive Chairman at the Water and Sewerage Corporation, by transferring $200 to his bank account.

On June 30, 2019, Miller was accused of making defamatory remarks about Gibson during a TV appearance on Jones and Co. Gibson was set to be cross-examined before he withdrew his complaint.

Meanwhile, Gibson refused to appear before Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain today to receive his voluntary bill of indictment for alleged corruption during his tenure at the Water and Sewerage Corporation, although he was in the court building.

Gibson faces a total of 56 counts on allegations that he failed to declare his interest in contracts awarded by the corporation.
