The Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, has filed an appeal challenging the ruling of the Code of Conduct Tribunal which ordered the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase, to arrest and produce him before the tribunal on Monday, September 21.
In his ground of appeal, Senator Saraki through his counsel, Joseph Daudu, submitted that the tribunal erred in law and also acted without jurisdiction‎ by assuming jurisdiction over the criminal trial of the appellant at the Code of Conduct Tribunal for a charge which is being challenged at the Federal High Court.

Senator Saraki, in his appeal, stated that as at the time the tribunal overruled the appellant’s application to discharge the order for bench warrant for his arrest by the respondent, there was an order of the Federal High Court which was served on the tribunal.

He further submitted that the appellant filed an application‎ dated September 17, challenging the jurisdiction of the tribunal to adjudicate on the charge brought before it.

The Senate President also submitted that it was trite that when an accused files an application challenging the jurisdiction of a court/tribunal to adjudicate on a charge brought before it, the accused need not be in court.

The appellant therefore asked the Court of Appeal to set aside the order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

The Code of Conduct Tribunal had earlier ordered the arrest of the Senate President for failing to appear before the Tribunal to answer charges of alleged false declaration while he served as Governor of Kwara State between 2003 and 2007.

Delivering a ruling on the suit filed by the Code of Conduct Bureau, Chairman of the Tribunal, Justice Danladi Umar ordered the Inspector-General of Police to produce the Senate President on Monday, September 21, which is the next adjourned date.

The Tribunal held that no court of coordinate jurisdiction can restrain the Tribunal from performing its constitutional duties.

Lalasticlala, the scale has tilted again to the other side. Oya carry the dish go dining table make my oga dem chop

The looser has only filed an appeal which will not be heard till Monday. In the meantime, the IG should just obey the subsisting court order and get this criminal arrested already. He must spend the weekend behind bars.

This is one of the major problems with these nefarious criminals... using looted funds to hire expensive SANs to abuse court processes.

Just remember, even judges are now responding to the now famous Body Language. The New Nigeria has no place for you and your ilk.

And Who is this Dump Saraki 's Lawyer?

He should go back to his constitution and read it where it is clearly stated that the CCT and the high court have coordinate jurisdictions. Thus, the high court does not have the power to stop the CCT.

Saraki go and defend yourself. There is no more room for Corrupt people like you in Nigeria

You called the vice president 'A mere Commissioner', betrayed the President, your party and a whole Jagaban & you want to go Scott free? I hope you'd answer that when you go from Senate President to Prison President.

I rest my case

Saraki, fighting a lost battle.

The same govt fighting Saraki for corruption intends sending corruption personified Amaechi to Saraki's senate for clearance to be "noise maker".
This illegality won't be allowed to stand, Nigeria is not a banana republic yet.

Saraki

H

These good times for the lawyers involved in the case

The battle begins

Saraki the headless chicken running helter skelter in search of shelter, one thing is certain you can't defeat FG in FG's court if in doubt ask justice Salami. Saraki is just grasping at straws.

Appeal to where? The content of this news is empty.

we don knw

eyah. i only see a prisoner begging

so the code of conduct tribunal has deliberately forgotten ignored the order of the federal high court.

bigFOOTcaveMAN:
saraki nothing do you

Quote me anywhere.

Plenty do am well well. He is fighting a lost battle.

I don't understand why Dr Saraki is making issues out of this very simple matter,a case has been put against him,he should go and answer ,he has a constitutional right to defend himself,so why running away or trying to make it seem that he has something to hide??he heads the senate & they summon people who answer to defend themselves as regards issues put against them,so why all the fuss from his side??The Code of conduct tribunal is a constitutional body which is carrying out it's constitutional function so he should spare us all his stories of political witch hunt ,go and defend the allegations Mr Saraki,he has not even refuted or given material facts in his press releases.
See you at the tribunal Mr Senate President Sir.

See levels. Next move should be to start an impeachment proceedings against Buhari on monday way before hearing at the appeal court.

We dey watch o where this season film go end

Saraki is a very good fighter!!! Nothing do you Oga

Yemi Osinbajo 'The mere Commisioner' is a Professor of Law.


How Saraki will escape will beat my imagination.

I don't believe in any Political Justice.

If you are accused of being a thief, step forward and say "I am not a thief" with proves.

I really pity him.

The only difference in a 'WITCH HUNT' is that you will lose the protection you had. Not that they will change the C Of O name to yours to lie that you own those things.

saraki go jump m pass!

Now this is becoming funny
