The Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, who appeared today at the Code of Conduct Tribunal to face charges brought against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau is refusing to enter the dock.


The trial of the Senate President, Dr. Olubukola Saraki, at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, sitting in Abuja,commenced on a dramatic note this morning, with the accused person, refusing to mount the dock.

The trial tribunal, headed by Justice Danladi Umar, called up Saraki’s case at exactly 10:32am.

Following Saraki’s refusal to stand up as his case was mentioned, the tribunal Chairman, Justice Umar, demanded that he should leave his seat and enter inside the dock.

The Senate President who is currently sandwiched by his colleagues and friends inside the court, called the bluff of the tribunal by retaining his seat.

“Where is the prosecution, is the accused person here?”, Justice Umar who was looking directly at Saraki from his vantage post, queried.

“Mr lord I cannot see him. I think the first thing is for him to enter the dock first, then we will announce our appearances. After which the charge will be read to him”, the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs submitted.

“With profound respect to the chairman and member of this tribunal, I agree with my learned brother that we should enter appearances first. The order of this tribunal was that the accused should be produced today. It was not for his to enter his plea. The case was earlier adjourned for mention”, counsel to Saraki, Mr. J.B. Daudu, insisted.

Daudu vehemently opposed the idea of Saraki entering the dock, relying on an Appeal Court decided case law in Igbeke vs FRN, ‎2015, 3 NWLR.

At the moment, the tribunal is entertaining arguments on whether of not Saraki should be compelled to enter the dock to answer to the 13-count criminal charge that was preferred against him by the federal government.

‎More details soon.

.Saraki has no choice,he will be docked and he may possibly be remanded in prison custody.Saraki is embarrassing those of us in the medical field.I initially supported him to become the senate president, because, i believe he is more intelligent and exposed than lawan.Stubborness will nv set him free,he should humble himself before the tribunal.

Carry him enter jooorr, even jagaban was docked

Na by fire by thunder.. He must to enter!. Bundle him and just send his nyansh to jail. He is so corrupt and exhibit flagrant display of irresponsibility. How did he ever become a senate president

Mere senate president

Wetin?
Policemen no dey there to drag him there like a stubborn goat?

Seems he's so full of himself

Saraki doesn't want his docked pictures to be circulated over the internet like those of 'Jaga-bandit'

"If he refuses to go to the dock, then they should carry the dock to where he is seated. Like they say, if mountain no go meet muhammed, muhammed go go meet mountain". Quote me anywhere.

This guys pride will just kill him....
So why did he come to th court if he as the accussed does not want to enter the dock?
Is he a guest?
The lord looks at the proud from a far...
Even jagaban was docked.
At the end of the day....he will be left alone when the chips are down all his friends will flee

They should drag him by the teeth, who does the arrogant mofo thing he is

The law is about facts not sentiments!!!

he is really showing that he is guilty.See our so called senators defending thief.This is to show that politicians are our greatest enemy in this country

Watching in 7D... Lesson... He that seek change and masses sympathy must go with a clean hand

will the outcome of this trial...repair our road, create job for the jobless, improve naira in the foreign exchange market, will it stop our selfish politicians from enriching their pocket ? Arm robber prosecuting Arm robber and the Victim (Nigerians) are here shouting at one of the robbers...God help us.

Am sure they keeping adjourning the case until his tenure is over quote me if its not adjourned today.

Like seriously, y den no carry the mad man go shariha court for kaduna. Water go don dey conmot for him eyes

He has finally agreed to enter the dock. Just saw it on Channels Tv. He pleaded not guilty.

Whoever was confused that Saraki is an arrogant spoilt brat has finally been convinced.

Saraki the joker, he must be docked whether he likes it or not.

What is your opinion on this piece copied from another platform. The rise and fall of Bukola Saraki...... Saraki left the PDP for personal reasons......not because he wanted CHANGE. This is evident in his behaviour since APC became victorious. APC trusted Saraki, jilted Belgore just to please Saraki. APC asked both Belgore and Lai Mohammed to relinquish the state leadership to Saraki. While Lai choicelessly agreed, Belgore left APC because 'I can never be in the same party with Saraki talkless of him leading me'.....Raji Fashola spoke and appealed to his bosom friend Belgore not to leave APC but the latter sought Fashola's understanding on the fact that Saraki is not a human being and that APC will regret having Saraki in its fold. APC openly celebrated Saraki. Saraki nominated every single political appointments in Kwara......he took over the structure of the APC in Kwara. APC narrowly won Kwara with just over 100k votes above the PDP. Race for Senate Leadership began. This slot would have naturally gone to the SE had Ngige or other experienced APC senatorial candidate won but APC NASS conflict's foundation was laid by the rejection of the party in the SE! Therefore, 3 major lucky contenders were jostling for the Senate President position......Lawan from NE, Saraki and Akume from NS all wanted to fill the vacuum created by the SE. Buhari and APC preferred Lawan from the NE instead of Tinubu's friend Akume and Atiku's choice Saraki. Tinubu being a smart man quickly asked his friend Akume to step down for the Party's and President's choice Lawan. Akume, another reasonable politician agreed! Tinubu is not just a driver, he also know when to accelerate and when to march the brake!!!!!!! Atiku and Saraki kept on accelerating even when it was obvious that the duo have approached the zebra crossing!!!! A warrior that knows how to fight that does not know how to run when necessary will eventually perish in the battlefield! Saraki and his pushers became arrogant and resolute to disgrace the APC and the President .... All appeals by leaders of their party did not hold water. Saraki said he wanted due process......th erefore, the party organized a primary election to please him......Saraki lost the election and instead of staying within his team and agree with the APC Senators decision, he betrayed the APC and teamed up with the PDP to steal the hard earned victory of the APC through the back door. He wanted SP even if heavens will fall. He eventually stole it while 95% of his colleagues were away, he joined the PDP to ridicule CHANGE. He did not stop there, he made the PDP DSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha! What wickedness What a deadly traitor?? The party was battling with the humble pie and sought further reconciliation by asking Saraki to give other leadership positions left to its preferred choices, at least to calm nerves and save the party from national disgrace...but Saraki once again injured the party and announced his own preferred choices behaving like 'IGE ADUBI' who cares less whether or not his mother or father died on the day of his birth! The intention of Saraki became very clear to APC......he wants to APC to fail, disgraced and destroyed......he has gone back to his former husband...PDP. But the concern of Buhari is different from the APC's.......Buhari wants to eradicate corruption but how can Kwara Corruption King lead from the senate Number one priority of Buhari administration has been ambushed by thieves from the NASS.....Buhari, a soldier and a war tested veteran will not give up the fight to eradicate corruption in Nigeria. His preference for Lawan has nothing to do with politics but with policies! Saraki obviously has constituted himself to be a clog in the wheels of CHANGE. He has become the arrow head of Business as Usual in a government of CHANGE! Therefore his book of remembrance was opened. His judgement became expedient.....Since he wanted to be one of leaders in the government of Change, he must be thoroughly searched. Buhari the first leader has been searched....... Osinbajo the second leader has been searched.....so why will Saraki the 'third' leader avoid search You cannot eat your cake and have it!!!!! For those who said why saraki? Keep your mouth shut. Saraki wants to be number three and therefore, his cupboards must be opened, we must know his condition and fitness......if he passed this current test, then CHANGE will admit him but if he fails......CHANGE will purge him........ This is not a joke! CHANGE has come to Nigeria and he who must come to equity must come with clean hands! And that is what we mean by Common Sense Revolution!
