Supreme Court Orders Saraki's Trial At CCT To Continue

Senate President Bukola Saraki has been ordered to go and face trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) according to a 7-man panel at the Supreme Court which rejected his appeal challenging the decision of the Appeal Court which upheld his trial at the tribunal.

A three-judge panel of the Supreme Court led by a retiring Justice John Fabiyi had on December 4, 2015, ordered a stay of proceeding by the Tribunal pending the determination of Mr. Saraki's appeal.

The court also asked counsel on both sides to submit their briefs of argument within 14 days. The court then fixed February 5, 2016, to deliver its judgement.

Saraki's appeal before the country's apex court contends that 
the CCT lacks jurisdiction to try him. His lawyers argue that the tribunal was not duly constituted as it comprised two instead of three members provided for by the Constitution. Also, the embattled Senate President's lawyers claim that the charges against Mr. Saraki were not competent.

A panel of Nigeria's Court of Appeal had earlier, in a split decision, affirmed the jurisdiction of the tribunal to try Saraki.

No more court to go to delay the trial.

  8. Saraki, you've reached the end of your Bus stop! Carry your cross! Everyone that joined the evil forces, to bring down the administration of President Jonathan - They'll all be disgraced one way and another. Kudos to Supreme Court, they always stand in the path of justice at all time.

  19. Running away from justice sends a wrong signal to the masses.If were tried for something wrong that i did not commit,i would simply allow justice to take place and if i am found innocent,i would seek for damages from who made the claim,simple and short,no corner corner,no running running,no magoo magoo
