Saraki’s trial resumes March 10

The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has fixed March 10 for the resumption of the trial of Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

Saraki was arraigned before the tribunal last year on a 13-count charge of alleged false declaration of assets.

Proceedings in the case were stalled by an appeal Saraki filed at the Supreme Court to challenge the tribunal’s jurisdiction.

The apex court on February 5 dismissed the appeal and directed the Senate president to submit himself for trial.
