On Friday, Kanu Agabi, the lead prosecution counsel to the Senate President had made reference to the
decision of the Tribunal in the Tinubu’s trial, asking that the former Kwara State Governor should also be allowed to go home.

This, according to him was because Saraki was also not informed of the charges or asked to defend himself against the allegations before the CCB brought him before the Tribunal.

“The result of the investigation by Bureau is expected to be presented to Your Lordship. Where is it?” Where is the reference? We don’t have it; you can strike it out and let them start afresh.

“He has not been invited; he should be invited like Tinubu. He is the Senate President of this country. We have not been invited; it is not discriminatory.

“My Lord, the reason you said you allow Tinubu to go home was that ten other governors were invited, but he was not invited, the defendant is a former governor,” Agabi said while asking the Chairman of the Tribunal to strike out the charges against the Senate President.

But while countering the argument, Jacobs told the Tribunal that the CCB did not need to invite the defendants to make any clarification on the discrepancies in his assets because section 3, part one of the third schedule of the 1999 Constitution
has removed such conditions.

Rotimi Jacobs, a senior advocate of Nigeria and the Federal Government prosecuting counsel in the 13 count charge of false assets declaration trial of
Senate President Bukola Saraki on Thursday said the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) was misled to discharge former Governor of Lagos State Bola Ahmed Tinubu when he was arraigned before it in November 2011.

He was charged with operating foreign bank accounts, contrary to the constitution. The tribunal had then dismissed the case against former Lagos state governor based on arguments that the bureau did not establish a prima facie case and also engaged in abuse of process in filing the charges against him.

Tinubu was accused of operating 10 foreign accounts during his tenure as governor between 1999 and 2007 in the charges filed against him by CCB at the
tribunal. But the three-man panel of the Tribunal
dismissed the case at the second appearance of the former governor at the court as it declared that “there is no significant basis to proceed against Tinubu as the charges were “defective and
shoddy.”

The tribunal also said that the prosecution abused the process of the court by not seeking leave of the Tribunal to file two additional counts and that the filing of two sets of charges simultaneously constitutes an abuse of process.

ok

...and then

Body odour freed him

Ok, we are going to formerly invite him now

Saraki is only seeing a mirage if he think that his case will be like tinubu's case.

Anyway, I wish him well.

Are you guys going to invite him to correct the mistake? Or has the sacrificial blood of APC washed away his sins? If so then free Saraki cause his a believer too.

They should re invite the thief then.

G

Constitution only works when it comes to issue affecting common man,it has different meaning when it involve men in power...
Nigeria,i hail ooo

Hmmmmmmm error indeed. It means our judiciary system is a comedy zone. No wonder we have so many innocent individuals in various prisons in Nigeria suffering for what they did not do all because of this our dilapidated arms of government. While the main offenders are free in 'error'. God is the supreme judge and He will judge everyone of us without partiality.

A country as Nigeria with a system where known cocaine pushers in Chicago are given access to power is setup for failure and international mockery.

Tinubu today is godfather of APC who financed Buhari rise to power with dirty drug and looted funds. Tinubu today was bestowed with appointing his boy Osinbade as vice president,Senate president---which saraki counteredand speaker to which dogara fired projectiles to shoot down.

APC and Buhari insults Nigerians when they throw up silly selective corruption charges without convictions yet, Buhari himself is a known beneficiary of epidemic corruption. Just take a penetrative scan through the 2016 budget of corruption and see corruption wearing pant and bra and cat walking.
