The court of appeal has denied Bukola Saraki's appeal to stop the code of conduct tribunal from presiding over his alleged forged asset declaration case.

The Abuja division of the court of Appeal on Friday, October 30, dismissed the appeal filed by Saraki challenging his trial by the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
The Appeal court dismissed all five issues raised by Saraki in the appeal.
Two of the three panel of judges ruled that his appeal lacks merit.
This implies that the Code of Conduct will still go ahead with Saraki's trial.
Saraki is being tried on a 13 count charge of false asset declaration when he was Kwara State governor. He is expected to appear before the Code of Conduct Tribunal on November 5th.
