The legal team of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Thursday withdrew their representation in the corruption trial of Mr. Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

The lawyers left the tribunal on Thursday after the special court refused to suspend the trial to allow the Supreme Court rule on the matter.

Mr. Saraki is facing a 13-count charge bordering on alleged corruption and false declaration of assets.

He was arraigned on September 18, but pleaded not guilty to the charges and was granted bail.

On Wednesday, Mr. Saraki appealed to the Supreme Court to stop the trial after the Court of Appeal in Abuja refused his request last week.

At the resumed hearing Thursday, Mr. Saraki’s lawyers argued that the case be stood down for the Supreme Court to take a decision.

Two of his counsels, Ahmed Magaji and Ahmed Raji, walked out of the Code of Conduct Tribunal after chairman of the tribunal, Umar Danladi, decided to continue hearing.

If Saraki no longer has a lawyer, CCT can allocate one of those that recently passed out of law school to represent him, that should not be a problem na. Well abeg lawyers in the house should advise on the implication of this.
