Orubebe had been charged with the offence after being accused by the federal government.
The former minister made headlines in 2015 for his dramatic outburst during the collation of presidential election results.
Orubebe refused to release the microphone he was holding and accused the former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Attahiru Jega of bias.

A later report alleged that Orubebe’s act was part of a plan to abduct Jega to keep him from declaring President Muhammadu Buhari as the winner of the elections.
