FG To Appeal Saraki's CCT Acquittal And Other Nonsensical Rulings by blogreporter: 9:50am On Jun 18, 2017
Special assistant to the president on prosecutions Okoi Obono-Obla, has said that the federal government will appeal the acquittal of senate president Bukola Saraki by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).


He said this on Saturday while been interviewed by Punch that the panel “misapplied” the law in the ruling the government would file a notice of appeal against the CCT’s ruling by Wednesday.

He said the government will also appeal all the “nonsensical” court rulings in various high-profile corruption cases.

“Definitely we are going to appeal against the ruling in Saraki’ s case,” he was quoted as saying.

“One of our grounds of appeal is that the tribunal misapplied the law. For instance, the standard of proof that the tribunal used is not applicable to charges of false declaration of asset.

“It (charge of false asset declaration) is a strict liability offence, so you cannot apply the standard of proof that is applied in the regular criminal proceedings.

“Surely we will file the appeal next (this) week Wednesday.”

“Anybody who thinks he can get away with an act of corruption is dreaming. We are going to file an appeal against all the nonsensical rulings that we have got from our court in recent times.”
