Stop My Trial At the Code Of Conduct Tribunal, Saraki Prays To The Supreme Court

Nigerian Senate president, Sen. Bukola Saraki, has appealed to the Supreme Court of Nigeria to halt his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

Saraki's  appeal to Supreme Court  was as a result of the Court of Appeal's dismissal of his objection to the trial by the Code Conduct Tribunal on the charges against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau over allegations of  false assets declaration and corruption

Last week, the  Appeal Court in Abuja dismissed Mr. Saraki’s objection to the trial, affirming the powers of the tribunal to hear a 13-count charge of alleged falsification of his assets declaration and corruption brought by the Code of Conduct Bureau against the senate president.
