The lawsuit instituted by the Senate President, Dr.
Bukola Saraki, at the Court of Appeal in Abuja
challenging the charges of ‘false’ assets
declaration levelled against him by the Code of
Conduct Bureau (CCB) has been stalled due to the
death of the presiding judge of the Abuja Division,
Justice Abubakar Abdulkadir Jega in Mina, Saudi
Arabia.
The late Justice Jega died in the tragic stampede
which led to the death of over 750 persons and
injured over 900 others.
The court clerk informed the people who had
already arrived in the court ON Tuesday that the
case had been postponed for one week to give the
justices and staff of the appellate court time to
mourn their dead colleague.
Justice Jega and Justice Musa Hassan Alkali were
among the 56 Nigerian pilgrims who lost their lives
in the stampede during the symbolic hajj ritual of
stoning the devil at the Jamarat Bridge in Mina.
The Court of Appeal, while refusing the ex-parte
application filed by Saraki to set aside the bench
warrant and order for his arrest issued by the
Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) penultimate
Monday, had adjourned till Tuesday.
Saraki had through his counsel, Adebayo Adelodun
(SAN), prayed the appellate court for an order to
stay execution of the ruling of the tribunal
delivered on September 18 ordering the Senate
president’s arrest.
However, the three-member panel of the appellate
court presided over by Justice Moore Adumein, had
held that even though the court has the general
power to make an interim order or grant any
injunction, for the court to exercise such power,
the application for interim order shall be by motion
on notice.
Despite the postponement in the appellate court,
the Federal High Court in Abuja will today hear the
preliminary objections along with the substantive
matter of the ex parte motion, which Saraki
brought before the lower court.
