Senate President Bukola Saraki has arrived at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) where his trial for alleged false declaration of assets continues.

He arrived at 10:05am in company of at least 12 senators.

Some of the senators are Ike Ekweremadu, deputy senate president; Sam Anyanwu, Dino Melaye and Andy Uba.

This is the lowest number of senators to accompany him to the CCT since the beginning of his case in September 2015  – the highest being 81.

In addition, this is the second day of his trial which started on Tuesday.

Although, this is the eighth time the senate president will appear at the CCT, his trial actually started on Tuesday.

The first time was on September 22, 2015 after the tribunal had issued a bench warrant for his arrest. He was accompanied to the tribunal by at least 50 senators on that day.

On the same day, he entered the dock, but he pleaded not guilty to 13 counts of false declaration of assets brought against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

The second time was on October 21, 2015 when he was accompanied to the tribunal by at least 81 senators.

And the third time was on November 5, 2015, when his lawyers  –Joseph Daodu and Mahmud Magaji  – withdrew from the case in protest of the decision of the tribunal to continue the matter despite an appeal against the constitution and jurisdiction of the tribunal at the supreme court.

The fourth time was on March 11, after the ruling of the supreme court upholding the jurisdiction of the tribunal to try him while the fifth time was on March 18 when an application to stop his trial was heard.

The sixth time was on March 24 when the tribunal ruled that his trial must continue.

The seventh time was April 5 when the prosecution called its first witness, who narrated how Saraki allegedly laundered billions of naira using fictitious names.

The senate president had gone the whole hog to challenge his trial at the CCT, but he failed at every turn.

On February 5, the apex court dismissed an appeal to stop his trial paving the way for the continuation of the case at the CCT.

On Tuesday, Danladi Umar, chairman of the CCT, dismissed Saraki’s application for adjournment.

Ruling on the application, Umar held that the issue of jurisdiction of the tribunal had already been settled by the supreme court, adding that a motion for adjournment based on an appeal challenging the jurisdiction of the tribunal at the appeal court was unnecessary.

He, therefore, ordered the prosecution to produce its witnesses, and the trial commenced.

Very soon it will be himself and Dino,
then him and his agbada alone,
then himself heading towards Kuje prison cos the sentenced would be for him alone.

The fear of Panama paper is the beginning of wisdom to other Sinators

Sarathief must go down.

Am missing Pa Abobaku Chukwudi44 ooo

When the going is smooth, you will have many friends and when the going is rough, most them will leave you, and never come back. In William Onyeabor's musical voice. OYO is his case,

O.Y.O is Saraki's new name. Even the entire ilorin don desert him long time ago. Come another eid, not stone again, na iron and bottle ilorinlite will stone you.

Pa Chukwudi44, your hero is going down.

By tomorrow, you ll be seeing only Saraki and Chukwudi44

On the day the ruling will be given, I'll be reporting LIVE from there

Ndigbo why are we the only one supporting Saraki? Even his people in Kwara state have opposed him, but we Igbos are the only one still supporting him shamelessly.

Saraki we all know didn't eat alone. He should do this country a great service for once by naming all highly and lowly placed individuals who are accessory to this great crime against humanity so that they would all enjoy the prison terms as one big happy family in Kuje.

Saraki is going down...

Chukwudi44. I no tell you?

Did you see the list of the senators that followed saraki to court? Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Senator Andy Uba etc. We Igbos are the only one supporting Saraki ****

ChetaNwaeze:
This is the part I find displeasing. I dont know why we Igbos like supporting corruption, convicts, criminals and crooks.

Igbo's needs a re think. that's y biafra will never work, cos of d greed among d little elites over dia. following saraki as if biafa hope lies on him. Ekweremadu will never lead dt senate #fact

Empty propaganda!!! If indeed Saraki's supporters in the senate has shrunk to 12 senators then the APC will not need the CCT to remove him since they would then have the requirred 2/3 majority needed to remove him.

Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Dino Melaye,take note.

Nwannem, let us stop crying more than the bereaved. Saraki's people in Kwara state are against him but na we Igbos carry Saraki mata for head. Who saraki don help for Alaigbo. We Igbos should stop disgracing our tribe with the way we always support corruption

It is a function of who is in power. Did you hear that EFCC has concluded investigation on Saraki as far back as 2013. But power that be would not the case opened.

Only those who does not understand the consequences of corruption and the damage this monster have inflicted on us will support any iota of corruption across board.

The number is reducing by the day.
Very soon, he will be alone.

Bros do you know where I am from? I am only stating the obvious fact.If Saraki's supporters has indeed shrunk to just 12 senators he would have long been impeached by now
