Trial of the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, is in order so ruled the Court of Appeal on Friday morning.
Saraki had gone to the Court of Appeal to stop his trial by the CCT for failing to fully declare his assets as the Governor of Kwara State.
But the Court of Appeal in a judgement delivered by Justice Moore Adumen, said the trial of Saraki by the CCT was in order.
Adumen said the Tribunal was in the first instance misled into believing that the Federal High Court once ordered the stoppage of Saraki’s trial.
It held that the section justifies the filing of the charges against Saraki by M.S. Hassan, a staff of the Federal Ministry of Justice.
