The suspect was charged in court with having paid for the car that was used in the attack that resulted in 67 deaths.
He had allegedly been captured by a CCTV camera in a bank where he made the payment for the car.
The court found that evidence submitted by defense lawyers proved that Adan was not the man in the footage.
Down to 3 Suspects
Adan's acquittal brought down the number of suspects in the case to three, where the magistrate stated that they have a case to answer.
Ahmed Abdi, Liban Omar and Hussein Mustafa will have their case mentioned on January 21.
The three are accused jointly and separate with conspiracy to commit a terrorist act, among other charges.
The September 21 attack was executed by masked men who sprayed bullets on shoppers and proceeded on a four-day siege at the mall.
