T0nyeBarcanista:
[s]Many SANs, including Saraki's lawyers have critically complained about the CCT's disregard for the authority of the Federal High Court.

Let us ignore the fact that they later shot themselves in the feet when they realised their mistake and ran back to institute exactly the same matter at the Court of Appeal.

Apparently, Saraki's lawyers did not realise the following and may need to be schooled further on why their action at the Federal High Court was a nullity:

1. When you are charged to a court....any court at all....and you wish to challenge it's jurisdiction, you do so right in that same court.

2. If the CCT ignores your application and rules that it has jurisdiction, then you appeal its ruling.

3. The constitution has already clarified which court is capable of reviewing the Ruling of the CCT.

4. No where in jurisprudence, is a plaintiff permitted to sue a court as a party to the case, the only provision is to appeal its ruling.

5. The CCT is a specialized court similar to the Election petition Tribunals. Appeals from them go directly to the Court of Appeal. These tribunal panels comprise high court judges of coordinate jurisdiction.

6. An invitation of the high court judge to both parties, asking for them to show reason why they feel the high court should not issue an interlocutory injunction stopping CCT is no way an Interlocutory Injunction already.

7. Saraki's disregard of a substantive court summon in the absence of an Interlocutory Injunction was a direct request for a bench warrant.

While it is very clear that the CCT has given Saraki and his lawyers utmost respect and regard by withholding the bench warrant, believing that as a responsible citizen, he will honour the summons on Tuesday, let no one be in doubt about the CCT's utmost power to arrest, detain and lock behind bars, any accused person who shows open brigandage and disregard for the court's authority, no matter how highly placed.[/s]

8.) You don't call a judge that presides over your case "incompetent". I am sure joseph Daudu will regret ever calling a hausa/fulani Judge "incompetent".

The same "incompetent" Justice Danladi Umar will be the one he and his paymaster(Saraki) will face tomorrow.


Sentimentally, the Yoruba lawyers feel they are superior to other lawyers when they speak. The highest disregard for any judge is to call him incompetent.

According to the constitution...."The question of whether or not such protocol as mentioned above has been followed shall not be asked"


The constitution already took care of that.

Notwithstanding, if a defendant has any complains about the writ of summons, he can only table it before the trial judge as he honours the summons. Just like challenging jurisdictions, challenging the technicality of the case is a matter of jurisprudence very well recognised.

Many cases have been struck out on technical grounds alone.

He was wrong to file that challenge in a different court, treating the trial court with utter disregard.

No sir, he has the right to run to another court to seek protection.

If a judge is incompetent, then the best place to rub it is in his face.
It's only in Nigeria you can say that rubbish to a presiding judge and get away with it. Elsewhere, you would be held in contempt, arrested and detained.

It is no longer news that the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki is to be charged to court by the Code of Conduct Bureau on a 13 count charge.

What may become news however, is the possible outcome of this important trial of the senate president.

While many are already aware of the 13 count charge, as contained in the charge sheet prepared by Mr H.S Hassan, a deputy director in the Federal Ministry of Justice, Mr Rights deem it fit to break down the charges in ordinary man’s langauage for proper understanding

Here is the break down:
1.CRIME 1

The first crime of Saraki, according to the charge by Code of Conduct Bureau is that, he made a false asset declaration in September, 2003 upon assuming office as Governor of Kwara State. Saraki declared an asset he was yet to own, anticipating to loot public resources to acquire the asset.

At the time of his assumption as governor, Saraki claimed to owned or acquired No 15A and 15B Mc Donald, Ikoyi, Lagos through his company Carlesle Properties Limited in the year 2000. But that was false. He never owned or acquired the property at that time. The property was actually bought or acquired by Saraki in the year 2006 through his company, Tiny Tee limited and Vitti Oil limited. He bought the properties for N396,150,000.00 ( Three hundred and ninety six million, one hundred and fifty thousand naira). The Code of Conduct charged that, since Saraki declared owning the asset as far back as 2003, yet, he only acquired it in 2006, such false declaration amount to an offense punishable under the code of conduct act.

POSSIBLE JUDGEMENT

Should code of Conduct prove that, Saraki did declare owning the asset at No 15A and 15B Mc Donald, Ikoyi, Lagos in 2003 upon assuming office as Governor.

Should they prove that, he never owned such asset in 2003 as claimed in his declaration form.

Should they be able to prove he recently acquired the asset in 2006. Saraki is likely to be found guilty of this offense.
2.CRIME 2

The second crime of Saraki, according to the charge by Code of conduct Bureau is that, while serving as Kwara state governor between 2006-2007, Saraki acquired properties located at 17A and 17B McDonald, Ikoyi, Lagos at the rate of N497,200,000.00 (Four hundred and ninety seven million, two hundred thousand naira). In his asset declaration after serving his tenure as Governor of Kwara State, Saraki claimed to have gotten the money to buy the properties from the sales of rice and sugar, but such income doesn’t correspond with Saraki’s income as contained in the declaration he made to the code of conduct bureau when he became governor of Kwara State in 2003. This means that, Saraki spend beyond his legitimate earnings based on his declaration form.

POSSIBLE JUDGEMENT

Should the Code of Conduct prove he did acquire this property between 2006-2007 while serving as Kwara State Governor.

Should they prove he acquired it at the rate of N497,200,000.00 (Four hundred and ninety seven million, two hundred thousand naira).

Should they also prove that, Saraki’s income as contained in his assets declaration form doesn’t correspond with his spending to acquire such properties, the senate president is likely to be found guilty of this offense.
3.CRIME 3

Saraki’s third crime, according to the Code of conduct bureau is that, after his tenure as governor of Kwara state in 2011, Saraki made another false asset declaration. He refused to declare plot 2A, Glover road, Ikoyi Lagos, which he acquired between 2007 and 2008 from Central Bank of Nigeria, through his company Carlesle Properties Limited at the rate of N325,000,000.00 (Three hundred and twenty five million naira)

POSSIBLE JUDGEMENT

Should the Code of conduct prove that, Saraki did acquire plot 2A, Glover road, Ikoyi Lagos between 2007-2008 while serving as governor, should they be able to prove he never declared the asset after his tenure in 2011, Saraki is likely to be sentenced to jail.
4.CRIME 4

Also, Saraki’s fourth crime, according to the Code of conduct bureau is that, after his tenure as governor of Kwara state in 2011, Saraki made another false asset declaration. He refused to declare plot 3A, Glover road, Ikoyi Lagos, which he acquired between 2007 and 2008 from Federal Government Landed properties, through his company Carlesle Properties Limited at the rate of N325,000,000.00 (Three hundred and twenty five million naira)

POSSIBLE JUDGEMENT

Should the Code of conduct prove that, Saraki did acquire plot 3A, Glover road, Ikoyi Lagos between 2007-2008 while serving as governor, should they be able to prove he never declared the asset after his tenure in 2011, Saraki is likely to be sentenced to jail.
5.CRIME 5

Saraki’s fifth crime, according to the charge by Code of Conduct Bureau is that, Saraki made another false asset declaration in September 2003, upon assuming office as Governor of Kwara State by refusing to declare No 1, Tagus Street, Maitama, Abuja, which he later declared after his tenure in 2011 claiming to have acquired it in 1996. While he never declare the assets when he assumed office in 2003, he declared it after his tenure, claiming to have acquired it as far back as 1996 from one David Baba Akawu.

POSSIBLE JUDGEMENT

Should the Code of conduct prove that, Saraki never declared owning any asset at No 1, Tagus Street, Maitama, Abuja in 2003, should they prove that he later declared the asset after his tenure, claiming to have owned it as far back as 1996, Saraki is likely to be sentenced to jail for this offence.
6.CRIME 6

Saraki made another false declaration in 2003 by refusing to declare No 3, Tagus Street, Maitama Abuja which he acquired through his company, Carlesle Properties Limited from one Alhaji Attahiru Adamu.

POSSIBLE JUDGEMENT

Should code of condcut prove saraki never declared owning any asset at No 3, Tagus Street, Maitama Abuja in 2003, should they prove he declared the asset after his tenure as Kwara State governor, the senate president is likely to be punished for this offence.
7.CRIME 7

Saraki made another false asset declaration in 2007, when he resumed for his second term as governor of Kwara State by refusing to declare No 3, Tagus Street, Maitama Abuja which he acquired through his company, Carlesle Properties Limited from one Alhaji Attahiru Adamu before he assumed office.

POSSIBLE JUDEMENT

Same as CRIME 6.
8.CRIME 8

Saraki made another false asset declaration in 2011, when he completed his second term as governor of Kwara State by refusing to declare No 3, Tagus Street, Maitama Abuja which he acquired through his company, Carlesle Properties Limited from one Alhaji Attahiru Adamu before he assumed office.

POSSIBLE JUDGEMENT

Same as CRIME 6.
9.CRIME 9

Saraki, between 2009 to 2012, while serving as governor of Kwara State and Senator of the federal republic of Nigeria respectively, operated a bank account outside Nigeria and transferred the sum of $3,400,000.00 (Three million, four hundred thousand dollars) from his Guarantee Trust bank Plc domiciliary account, No 441441953210 to the American Express Services Europe Limited no:730580 for onward credit to his account at American Express Services Bank, New York card account no:374588216836009.

POSSIBLE JUDEMENT

Should code of conduct prove that, Saraki did operated a bank account outside Nigeria between 2009-2012, should they be able to prove he transferred the sum of $3,400,000.00 (Three million, four hundred thousand dollars) to this account as stated above, there is no hiding place for the senate president.
10.CRIME 10

Saraki made another false declaration in 2003 upon assuming office as Kwara State governor. According to the charge by Code of Conduct Bureau, Saraki refused to declared his leasehold interest in No 42,Remi Fenikayode street, Ikeja Lagos, which he acquired through his company, SkyView properties limited from first finance trust Limited in 1996.

POSSIBLE JUDEMENT

Is it everything he posts that would appear as what the other wailers are thinking. He has just stated obvious facts and he's very much entitled to his opinions.

It cannot be over emphasized that the Mods favour their own when it comes to topics that makes FP.

An instance is this particular one that is poorly researched, superficial and lacking in intelligence. Perhaps the aim of the writer is just for the sake of "being heard"...
