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.
