Senate President, Bukola Saraki
The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has postponed the sitting for the trial of Senate President, Bukola Saraki, regarding the 13-count false asset declaration charge against him.
The tribunal chairman, Mr. Danladi Umar also set a new date of 6 November for the trial.
He took the decision after listening to Saraki’s lawyer, Joseph Daodu and government lawyer, Rotimi Jacobs, both senior advocates, on the pending case at the Court of Appeal.
Daodu lawyer said the tribunal should take the fact that the defendant is a Senate President and he is at present handling an important national assignment at the National Assembly.
But Jacob opposed him, arguing that he is intimidating the court.
Everybody is equal before the law, he said.
