ABUJA – The Federal Ministry of Justice has asked the
Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, sitting in Abuja to
issue bench warrant for the arrest of the Senate
President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.
Bukola Saraki
A deputy director in the office of the Attorney General
of the Federation, Mr. M.S. Hassan, applied for the
arrest order following Saraki’s refusal to appear before
the tribunal to enter his plea to the13- count
corruption charge against him.
Saraki who was billed for arraignment this morning,
sent his team of lawyers to serve the tribunal with a
copy of the ruling of Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the
Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, yesterday,
which summoned the Ministry of Justice to appear on
Monday to show cause why the trial should be allowed
to proceed.
Equally summoned by the court were the Chairman of
the tribunal, Justice Danladi Umar and that of the
Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, Mr. Sam Saba, as well as
Mr. Hassan who signed the charge against Saraki.
Meanwhile, irked by Saraki’s absence at the tribunal for
the commencement of his prosecution over alleged
false declaration of assets, the Ministry of Justice
prayed the Justice Umar-led panel to order for his
arrest, saying “he cannot sit in the comfort of his
chamber and object to his trial in absentia”.
The prosecution further maintained that Justice
Mohammed lacked the powers to summon the CCT and
CCB chairmen, even as it accused Saraki of engaging in
“forum shopping” in a desperate bid to scuttle his
trial.

The Tribunal should oblige immediately. That ambitious & criminal traitor needs a hard lesson on Contempt of Court. Era of Impunity should be gone for good.

Saraki should bury his Ego maybe that will help him. Meanwhile, he should return all the looted fund in his coffer.

Buhari already told him to go ahead and issue the goddam 'wafxckinrrant'.
