Supreme Court Adjourns Hearing of Saraki's Appeal Till Next Year

 

The Supreme Court fixed February 5th as the date by which it will deliver judgement on the appeal filed by the embattled Senate President, Bukola Saraki which challenged the decision of the appeal court. 

Mr. Saraki’s appeal challenged the Supreme Court to set aside the criminal charges brought against him by the Code of Conduct Tribunal’s (CCT) false asset declaration case. 

 

The Senate President alleged that the CCT did not possess the competency to properly try him.  He noted that it was constitutionally mandated that any CCT trial must possess three members on its tribunal, yet his tribunal only possessed two members.
