Police Stops Live Coverage Of Saraki’s Trial


The Police has stopped the live coverage of the
ongoing trial of the Senate President, Bukola
Saraki, who is facing a 13-count criminal charge
bordering on false declaration of assets
preferred against him.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has arrived
the Tribunal by 9:30 to face charges against him by
the Code of Conduct Bureau. The trial judge is
expected as at the time of filing this report.

SECURITY was unusually tight at the Code of
Conduct Tribunal, this morning, as the Senate
President and former governor of Kwara state,
Bukola Saraki, is expected to appear before the
Danladi Umar-led Tribunal.

The Court of Appeal and the Federal High Court,
both sitting in Abuja, yesterday, refused to shield
the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki from being
arraigned at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, on
a 13-count criminal charge bordering on false
declaration of assets preferred against him. The
Senate President had approached both courts to
provide him shelter and save him from being
docked.
