APPEAL COURT ADJOURNS SARAKI’S CASE INDEFINITELY
The appeal by Senate President, Bukola Saraki against the jurisdiction of
the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), to try him over alleged false declaration of
assets, was on Monday, adjourned indefinitely by the Appeal Court, sitting in
Abuja. Recall that Saraki is challenging the legal propriety of the 13-count
criminal charge the Federal Government preferred against him before the Code of
Conduct Tribunal, CCT. He had also gone before the appellate court to query the
constitutionality of the warrant of arrest earlier issued against him by
chairman of the CCT, Justice Danladi Umar.

Besides, the embattled Senate President, through his team of lawyers led by
a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Mr. J.B. Daudu, SAN,
wanted the higher court to ascertain whether the Justice Umar-led panel
subscribed to the appropriate legal procedure when it ordered him to mount the
dock and enter his plea to the charge despite preliminary objections against
his trial.
