The Court of Appeal, sitting in Abuja, on Friday adjourned
the ruling on the appeal brought by Senate President,
Bukola Saraki.
Counsel to the appellant J.B.L Ufoh, in a brief filed on
October 6, challenged the jurisdiction of the Code of
Conduct Tribunal, saying the tribunal ought to have obeyed
and stayed proceedings when it got an order from the
Federal High Court.
He further stated that the CCT was not a superior court to
the Federal High Court and therefore urged the court to set
aside all proceedings, including the charge against Senator
Saraki on the grounds that the tribunal was not properly
constituted.
Counsel to the respondent, Rotimi Jacobs, in his own brief,
filed October 12, argued that if Mr Ufoh was challenging the
constitution of the tribunal, it still wasn’t enough reason to
affect the case brought before it.
He further added that there was no order by the Federal
High Court compelling the Code of Conduct Tribunal not to
sit; rather, the appellant had asked for an interim injunction
which the Federal High Court denied.
Therefore it was wrong for the appellant to paint the tribunal
as a lawless court that does not obey orders, the lawyer
said.
Mr. Jacobs insisted that the law was being misinterpreted
and urged Justices M.A.A Adumien, J.E Ekanem and M.
Mustapha to dismiss the appeal because “arguing it lacked
merit”.
He prayed the court that the right interpretation of the law
be upheld.
The Code of Conduct Bureau had on September 11 slammed
a 13-count charge bordering on false asset declaration on
Mr. Saraki.
He is accused of offences ranging from anticipatory
declaration of assets to making false declaration of assets in
forms he filed before the Code of Conduct Bureau, while he
was governor of Kwara State.
Justice Adumien reserved judgement for 2pm on Monday,
October 19.

Nwanne, you are there. They thought ministerial screening was put off till next week for nothing. Saraki knows what he is doing. Mess with him at CCT and see if Amaechi will be confirmed.

Hope this is not a way to stop Saraki from sitting in the cage again. Saraki must face the CCT whether he likes it or not.!!!
