#CCTvsSaraki: Counsel to FG Becomes Counsel to CCT Chairman Over Motion on his Corruption Case


As the trial of the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, continues at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), the lead counsel Rotimi Jacobs has assumed a new role as counsel to the CCT boss Danladi Umar.


While entertaining a motion filed by one of Saraki’s Counsel’s, Ajibola Oluyede requesting that he withdraws from presiding over the CCT because of pending bribery charges against him.


Oluyede stated emphatically that Dan Ladi Umar’s relationship with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), as a suspect in a N10million bribery investigation, made him unfit to preside over a case being investigated by the EFCC .


Counsel to ‎the Federal Government and persecuting counsel Rotimi Jacobs immediately assumed the role of a counsel to Umar and argued for him intercepting Oluyede.


‎" Your lordship hasn't been charged to any court; not convicted by any court. You're not under any trial. Investigation is a mere investigation the defendant here is still performing his duty as a senator. Today he's the senate president and he's now saying someone who hasn't been charged not to perform his duty".


"Mr Oluyede has never appeared before this court as at the time he filled his motion case is between CCT and Bukola Saraki and EFCC isn't involved at all‎ the defender is harassing the tribunal‎". Rotimi yelled


He raised up various more points in defence‎ of Umar as opposed to his core duty as the persecuting counsel in the case filed against Bukola Saraki by the Code of Conduct Bureau .


Recall that last week Umar had set the precedence by assuming the role of the per‎secuting judge, the witness and the presiding Judge.

SARAKI will surely rull till 2019

So tired of these their case

Umar is embarrassing the judiciary.... he should excuse himself we need to try Saraki flawlessly. datsall

Rotimi Jacobs is a very incompetent lawyer who talks more to the press than he talks in court....the case is for Umar not Jacobs what is Jacobs afraid of? Why is his case seems so much tied to Umar?

Speek for bukola saraki 2016, just tell us how much BS made available for nairaland, cos there are many empty heads who dontmind advocating his cause for some change (apologies to chukwudi44, tautumergo007, menstrual pad and co, who will do theirs for the share f**lishness)
Not everyone Is from illorin (pun intended)

@op what did you gain by supporting saraki, even if you hate this administration, must you now support corruption; don't tell me you don't know what saraki is tried for. The cct chairman has been cleared since last yr, so why bringing up the case again

If Umar is embarrassing the Judiciary, I wonder what the Man that has been jumping from pillar to post is doing to both the Judiciary and The NASS.

Y'all are yearning dust. Saraki is going down and there's nothing y'all can do about that. Saraki who's facing a 15-count charges and a panama paper revelation has refused to resign but you expect a Judge who has been cleared to withdraw from the case?! Talk of hypocrisy!
