SARAKI - Apex Court halts CCT's trial

Bukola Saraki


Temporary reprieve came the way of the Senate President, Dr. Olubukola Saraki, yesterday, as the Supreme Court aborted bid by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, to begin full blown hearing on the 13-count criminal charge preferred against him by the Federal Government.
In a ruling, yesterday, a five-man panel of justices of the apex court, led by Justice John Fabiyi, directed the CCT to ‘tarry awhile’ to enable it look into Saraki’s appeal.
It will be recalled that the Justice Danladi Umar-led tribunal had on November 5 declined to suspend hearing on the case.
