Court of Appeal to rule on Senate President’s trial today, October 30

Saraki is being tried by the tribunal after being accused of asset declaration fraud by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

 

The Court of Appeal in Abuja will, today, October 30, 2015, deliver judgment on the validity or otherwise of Senate President, Bukola Saraki’s trial before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

Saraki is being tried by the tribunal after being accused of asset declaration fraud by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

The Appeal Court had

been expected to rule on the matter on October 19 but on that date, it announced that the case had been adjourned indefinitely.

This led to a subsequent postponement of Saraki’s CCT trial from October 21 to November 5.

The Senate President, through his lawyer Joseph Daudu (SAN), is urging the court to set aside the case against him.
