The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) says it will
investigate the action of the senior counsel who
represented the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki,
at the Code of Conduct Tribunal on Thursday. NBA General Secretary, Mr Afam Osigwe, told the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Abuja
that the association would undertake the
investigation to ascertain facts of what transpired
at the tribunal before taking a position. “We got different accounts in the media and would
need the correct details to allow the NBA to react
from an informed position. “From the accounts we got through the media
some said the lawyers walked out while others
said they withdrew. “So, due to the inconsistent choice of words, we
cannot speak on the matter until we get the full
and accurate details,’’ he said. The lawyers, Messrs Mahmud Magaji (SAN) and
Ahmed Raji (SAN), had withdrawn their services as
lawyers representing Saraki at his trial on
allegation of false asset declaration before the
tribunal. They had also staged a walk out with the junior
lawyers who appeared with them before the
tribunal concluded the case. The lawyers openly announced their withdrawal
following their perceived dissatisfaction with the
ruling of the tribunal on their application for stay of
proceedings. They said that they were displeased with the
decision of the tribunal refusing the application to
stay proceeding in the trial pending the
determination of an appeal they filed before the
Supreme Court. Specifically, Magaji had said: “This is a judicial
rascality and I cannot be part of this process. I
therefore withdraw my representation as the
respondent’s counsel.’’ Speaking in same vein, Raji said: “We have pending
application before the supreme court. “I believe that in the hierarchy of court we have
the tail and the head and the tail cannot dictate for
the head as we have seen here. “I also withdraw my services as lawyer to the
respondent.” Meanwhile, a cross section of lawyers in Abuja has
condemned the “walk out’ by the senior counsel,
describing it as a “disgrace to the bar’’. Some of the lawyers who spoke to NAN said the
action of the lawyers was unethical, while some
blamed the judge for not taking appropriate action
to charge them for contempt. Mr Nnanna Oketa said young lawyers were highly
disappointed with the conduct of the senior
advocates, adding that the action was more
political than judicial. “The truth is that what transpired yesterday at the
Code of Conduct Tribunal is to say the least
degrading of our profession; it was terrible and
should not be associated with lawyers. “Lawyers are expected to conduct themselves
appropriately with the highest level of decorum
when they are in court. That is not how we are
trained and we hope that does not happen again. “The truth is that, if your prayer is not granted by
the court, there is a window of appeal if you are
not comfortable with the ruling of the court,’’ he
said. Oketa stressed that lawyers and citizens alike must
be properly guided by the rules of court in their
conduct before the court and a judge. Another legal practitioner, Mr Anthony Ekuma, said
the action of the senior lawyers was “most unruly’’. “What they have done is a violation of Section 30
of the Rules for Professional Conduct for Legal
Practitioners 2007 as amended. “With due respect to the learned seniors, they
should know that notice of appeal does not
constitute a stay in the hearing of a trial before a
court,” he said. Ekuma also condemned the action of the tens of
Senators who accompanied Saraki to the tribunal. The Senator had reportedly raised their voices in
support of the lawyers when they walked out of
court thereby disrupting the proceedings of the
tribunal. “The law is in no respecter of anyone, no matter
how highly placed therefore you are expected to
conduct yourself orderly while in court. “There must be maintenance of decorum in the
conduct of anybody in the court during
proceedings no matter who the person is,’’ he said. NAN recalls that Saraki, who is standing trial in the
tribunal on allegations of false asset declaration,
had appealed to the Supreme Court seeking to
stop the trial. The lawyers had applied to the tribunal to stay
proceedings in the trial pending the decision of the
apex court. The tribunal presided by Justice Danladi Umar,
however, in its ruling upheld the argument of the
prosecution that staying proceeding would
hamper speedy trial. In his ruling, Umar relied on Section 306 of the
Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015, which
states that: “An application for stay of proceedings
in respect of a criminal matter before the court shall
not be entertained’’. Similarly, he said that Section 305 (1) of the Act
allows the trial court to exercise its discretion on
stay of proceeding if an issue on the interpretation
of the constitution is raised before an appellate
court. The section reads: “Where a question as to the
interpretation of the Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria arises in the course of trial and
is referred to the Court of Appeal under the
provisions of the constitution, the court before
which the question arose may in its discretion: “(a) adjourn the trial until the question has been
considered and decided “(b) conclude the trial and postpone the verdict
until such time as the question has been
considered and decided, or “(c) conclude the trial and pass sentence but
suspend execution until such time as the question
has been considered and decided “And in any such case the court in its discretion
shall commit the defendant or convict to prison or
admit him to bail in accordance with the provision
of Part 19 of this Act’’. (NAN)

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC)
on Monday said it has withdrawn the “data floor
price’’ for operators in the telecommunications
industry. “Floor price’’ is a government or group-imposed
price control or the limit a price can be charged
for a product to check unhealthy rivalry among
players. In a statement in Lagos, the commission said that
the withdrawal was in a bid to ensure
sustainability, growth and development of the
data service market segment. “However, the commission will restore the floor
price if any distortion is observed within the
market segment,’’ it said. NAN reports that with the withdrawal of the
price, telecommunications industry now has the
permission of NCC to charge subscribers lower
than the set lowest industry prices. The regulatory body had in May 2013 imposed a
price floor on telecommunications operators in
the country as a means of controlling anti-
competitive behaviours by operators considered
to have attained the dominant status in the
industry. Such anti-competitive behaviours include
charging calls within their networks much lower
than what they charged for calls terminating on
other networks. With this, the operators might just be setting up
calling clubs – a practice where subscribers just
call those within the network of their own
service providers.

WILL the trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki commence as scheduled on Wednesday (tomorrow)? The answer to that question was lost in legal conundrum on Monday, barely 48 hours before Saraki is billed to appear at the Code of Conduct Tribunal to answer 13 charges of false asset declaration between 2003 and 2011 when he was the governor of Kwara State. The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Monday adjourned indefinitely its judgment in an appeal filed by the Senate president, challenging the validity of the charges against him before the CCT. However, another panel of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which had earlier promised to deliver its judgment on the case before the next scheduled appearance of the Senate President before the tribunal on October 21 did not sit on Monday. No new date was fixed for the judgment as lawyers, journalists and a large number of people interested in the case met the courtroom already locked by 2pm when the three-man panel was scheduled to sit on Monday. The development has sparked uncertainties about the CCT's proceedings on Wednesday, when Saraki's trial has been scheduled to commence. Both the prosecution lawyer, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs (SAN); and the defence lead counsel, Mr. Joseph Daudu (SAN), said they did not know the status of Wednesday's proceedings at the CCT. They said they were confused. Jacobs, who also represents the respondents to Saraki's suit at the Court of Appeal, told Punch correspondent in a telephone interview on Monday that he could not confirm whether or not the CCT proceedings would go on as scheduled. "We don't know yet. We don't know if the Court of Appeal will deliver its judgment before the tribunal's next adjourned date," he said. Daudu also expressed similar concern when contacted by Punch correspondent on Monday.
"We don't know yet. We are confused too, but it is our work to straighten it out. So I can't tell you anything now," Daudu said. The appeal court justices, led by Justice Moore Adumein, had on Friday heard and adjourned Saraki's appeal till Monday for judgment. Saraki had on September 22 pleaded not guilty to the 13 charges preferred against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau. He had filed an appeal against the ruling of the Justice Danladi Umar-led tribunal on the grounds that it wrongly assumed jurisdiction on the case when it came before it on September 18. But another senior lawyer in Saraki's camp, Mr. Mahmud Magaji (SAN), who indicated that Saraki would not be at the tribunal on Wednesday, said that the tribunal had no reason to conduct proceedings in the matter until the Court of Appeal delivered its judgment. "The matter is before the Court of Appeal, we have argued our brief and judgment has been reserved. So how can a lower court sit over the same matter?" he argued. When asked if Saraki would appear before the tribunal on Wednesday, he said, "How can he? It seems you don�t understand this issue. The matter is already before the Court of Appeal. We must allow the Court of Appeal to decide it either way before the trial at the tribunal can continue." But a Lagos lawyer, Mr. Jiti Ogunye, insisted that the CCT had no reason to halt Saraki's trial in view of the fact that there was no specific order of stay of its proceedings and the new Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015, which provides that criminal proceedings cannot be stayed. He said, "The Court of Appeal has not granted any order of stay of proceedings of the tribunal. As a matter of law, by virtue of the provisions of the new law in town, which is the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015, which is the law guiding the proceedings of the
trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki, we can conclude that the law does not envisage that the Court of Appeal would stay its proceedings." Another lawyer, Mr. Wahab Shittu, in a separate telephone interview with Punch correspondent, said since there was no subsisting order of proceedings, the CCT had no reason to halt the trial. "There is no order for stay of proceedings. I think what we should
be insisting on is that the proceedings of the tribunal must be fair," Shittu said. But a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Dr. Joseph Nwobike, who said the proceedings of the CCT was not purely criminal, even with the provisions of the ACJ Act barring stay of proceedings in criminal trials, it would be better for the CCT to await the judgment of the Court of Appeal before continuing with Saraki's case. Nwobike said, "It will be better for the Code of Conduct Tribunal to await the judgment of the Court of Appeal. But under the new Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 if the tribunal is of the view that its proceedings are criminal proceedings, it is entitled to proceed with the proceedings not withstanding that the interlocutory appeal has been heard. "But that will depend on whether or not the proceedings of the tribunal are criminal in nature. In my humble view, the tribunal's proceedings are not criminal, they are quasi- criminal." A large number of people interested in the case, including journalists, had waited at the entrance of the courtroom ahead of the 2pm scheduled for the judgment of the Court of Appeal on Monday. One of the defence counsel, Mr. Kehinde Eleja (SAN), who addressed journalists on the development, said he had been able to reach the court registrar who informed him that the judgment was not ready. He said a new date would be communicated to the parties when the judgment was ready. At the hearing of the appeal on Friday, the Court of Appeal had struck out an application for stay of the CCT proceedings filed by Daudu, Saraki�slead counsel. The appeal panel said it would amount to judicial waste of time if it went ahead to hear the appeal and had to deliver a separate ruling on it after the main appeal had been heard. The Senate President is challenging his trial at the CCT on many grounds, including that the panel of the CCT, comprising two judges instead of three, is not properly constituted. He is also contending that the CCT, not being a court, could not exercise judicial powers and that the charges filed at the time an Attorney General of the Federation had not been appointed were incompetent. But the respondents to the appeal - the CCT, the
CCB, the Federal Ministry of Justice and a ministry's lawyer, Mr. Muslim Hassan, who signed the charges - had through their counsel, Jacobs, asked the Court of Appeal to dismiss the appeal. Jacobs said the appeal lacked merit and was based on misconception and wrong interpretation of the law.
