ABUJA—-The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, this morning, failed to persuade the Code of Conduct Tribunal sitting in Abuja to grant an indefinite adjournment on the 13-count criminal charge that is pending against him.


The Justice Danladi Umar-led tribunal, while rejecting the application which Saraki made through his lawyer, Mr. Mahmud Magaji, SAN, ordered him to appear before it ‎on November 5.

Justice Umar said the tribunal was minded to adjourn full-blown hearing on the substantive case till next month, to enable it to ascertain the outcome of the appeal that Saraki lodged before the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal.


Meantime, Saraki, who stormed the court today with ‎34 Senators and 50 lawyers, initially declined to mount the dock, placing reliance on the fact that a higher court is already seized with the ‘Res’ of the case against him.

He was eventually compelled to enter the dock by the tribunal‎ at exactly 10:59am, even as the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, urged the court to as a mark of respect for judicial hierarchy, defer further proceeding on the matter for two weeks.

Great

Ok

Lawyers to politicians always providing them with loop holes to escape or delay justice whereas the rest of us, na for police station dem de use slap resolve our cases.

Guy, you're funny.
You go die for Saraki matter.
Your attention is needed in the Akwa Ibom tribunal thread.

I pray PMB gets his war against corruption right and makes it holistic not minding the side noises from PDP. The failure of this administration to bring corruption down to its knees is going to portend grave danger to the ruling class. When there is nothing left for poor to eat the riches become food.

Corrupt officials irrespective of political power must be made to respect the law. I hope CCT has established a good case against him good enough to send him to jail?

Saraki is just buying time.

When you see Saraki's acquisitions over a short period in government, you will only but have mercy on him. Greed/avariciousness has totally overcome his psyche. There is nothing good to mankind that will come out of him.
