This morning, Justice Moore Adumen of the Court of Appeal upheld the trial of Senate President, Bukola Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal. Saraki had run to the Court of Appeal to stop his trial at the CCT, where he has been charged on 13-counts with false asset declaration.
But while reading the unanimous verdict of the three man panel, Adumen said the tribunal, which docked Saraki, was properly constituted. He relied on section 28 of the Interpretation Act to reach the decision. Saraki lawyer however says they will be heading to the Supreme Court but his trial at the CCT resumes on November 5.
