Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), the Federal Government’s Chief Prosecutor in the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) trial against Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, today begged the court to re-cross-examine the government’s primary witness, Michael Wetkas, an operative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Jacobs, in his comments, stated that Wetkas had made some ambiguous statements regarding bank transfers and ownership of the properties, No. 15A and B, MacDonald Street, Ikoyi, Lagos State.

Commenting on Jacobs request, Barrister Atedze Agwaza, told Jacob that his request could be seen as an attempt to make the witness alter his initial statement, urging him to consider using other prosecution witnesses to make his point.

In a similar regard, Justice Dan Ladi Umar, the Chairman of the CCT, alleged that Jacobs request to cross-examine the witness could lead to the witness changing his initial statement, wherein he (Wetkas) stated that he was unsure whether the bank transfers in question included service charges, and that during the course of his investigation of the properties in Ikoyi, he never confirmed if No. 15A and 15B Macdonald street, were one property, or two.

After much back-and-forth, the counsels to the Senate President, acquiesced to Jacobs demand for re-examination, on the condition that they would be given the opportunity to cross-examine the witness after the prosecution.

CCT Chairman refused request by lead prosecutor for DAY to DAY trial saying tge court has other matters to attend to as case was adjourned till Tuesday 17th

Time to remove Saraki and Ekweremadu has come. Sai Jagaban

Saraki

The judiciary is more or less no more in the pocket of the rich and powerful. Or how can this sham of a trial continue to get by at a snail's pace.

Mr Saraki's properties in the UK is also under scrutiny amongst others.

There is need to ramp up pressure on this big crookola

The trial is just to keep Saraki loyal, why then should l ache my head and start taking drugs for another man's headache?

His 4 year tenor as the President of the Senate is almost complete yet his adversaries are still chasing shadows

If Saraki is indicted and removed as the SP today, he has nothing to lose


FG (Buhari) should stop wasting scarce resources to prosecute the case

Saraki remains the only saint I see in APC


Not Tinubu the biggest Landlord in Lagos
Not fashola and his golden Boreholes
Not Atiku The American shy looter
Not Babachir Lawal the diamond grass cutter
Not Dambazzau the arms fund looter
Not Buratai the Dubai house owner
Not Kyari the MTN bribe agent for Buhari
Not Buhari the shield of all corrupt practices under this administration


And definitely not you, a certified zombie

sometimes you just want to look back at what transpired btwn the DSS and some judges and then conclude that the judiciary's brain was restored back to factory setting, at least to some extent.

So buhari never tire for this guy's matter?

Oh ok

In situations like these, there must be that sellout Igbo red cap chief sunning his teeth for the camera .

Nonsense!!

Politics in Nigeria is not for the meek and soft hearted.

He who will dine with the devil must have a very long spoon.

Sakari understands what he needs to do to get out this mess. I think he is already dancing to the party's tune.

Sooner than we think, they will thrash the case like those of the old. Abi no be naija we dey again?

Saraki is the granddaddy of corruption. If cct acquits this big time crook, that will be end of the fight against corruption.

When will this government stop wasting Nigerians' time with sensationalism?

A Confused government
