Appeal Court: Saraki Withdraws Application Against CCT Trial

Senate President Bukola Saraki has withdrawn an application to stall his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) pending the hearing of his suit at the appeal court. The senate president is facing trial at the CCT for alleged false declaration of assets.

On Monday at the appeal court, Kanu Agabi, Saraki’s lead counsel, withdrew the application and asked the court to grant accelerated hearing to his appeal challenging the jurisdiction of the CCT to try his client. “When your lordship has read such a voluminous motion, it is unfair to say we are withdrawing. But we have to. We want to withdraw the motion,” he said.

“In the motion, dated April 4, we prayed your lordship to stay proceedings at the CCT pending the hearing of our appeal. But we now want to urge your lordship to grant accelerated hearing to our appeal. “My Lord, we appeal to you to grant us accelerated hearing.”
