(BREAKING NEWS) Assets Declaration: Court Orders Saraki’s Arrest by flourish001(m): 2:39pm On Sep 18, 2015
Justice Danladi Umar of the Code of Conduct Tribunal has ordered that a bench warrant should be issued on the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, for failing to appear to answer charges bordering on assets declaration.

Details later. . .

—————————————————————————–

Senate President Bukola Saraki’s trial for alleged false declaration of his assets when he was governor of Kwara State has begun at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.


The Prosecution Counsel, Mr. Muslim Hassan, asked the tribunal to issue a bench warrant against Saraki for failing to appear before it.

Hassan faulted the Federal High Court for granting the ex parte motion halting Saraki’s arraignment.

He argued that the Federal High Court had coordinate jurisdiction with the tribunal and as such, had no powers to halt trial of the
Tribunal.

The Defence Counsel, Mr. Joseph Daudu, however, prayed the tribunal to adjourn the case until after the Federal High Court sitting on Monday.

Meanwhile, the Chairman tribunal, Mr. Umar Danladi, adjourned the case till 1.30pm for a decision to be taken.

Does the Immunity Clause of the Constitution of the FRN (Section 308) cover a sitting Senate President? No...!!!
Is there any Section of the Senate Rule and Enthics that says a Sitting Senate President can not be arrested, invited or warrant of arrest issued by a Tribunal?

While i feel Bukola Saraki may not escape this one, i still feel the CCT may miss the process of charges against him on technical grounds thereby jeopardising the trial. A Deputy Director in the Ministry of Justice does not have the right to authorise a case on behalf of the FG against a sitting Senate President, only the AGF and Minister of Justice can. This is an afront on the Legislative Arm of Government (The NASS) and bet me, some section of the NASS will resist the move by the FG by threaten to also pay the Executive back

Blame the game! Naija politics is dirty, wonna get dirty, play dirty. I don't need to be told that had it been Saraki didn't go against d party's will , he wouldn't have found himself in d mess he is right now! This is exactly what happened to Ribadu, the big and mighty came for him and before we could say jack, he was blacklisted.

SARAKI PELE OOO
