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.

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.
