The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has ruled that the trial of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki must continue despite Saraki’s appeal at the Supreme court.
Counsel to the Senate President, Ahmed Mogaji had asked the tribunal to suspend further hearing on the matter pending the Supreme Court’s decision on the matter. His argument was, however, opposed by the prosecution, Rotimi Jacobs.
Ahmed Mogaji then walked out of the court and reportedly described the CCT’s ruling as judicial rascality.
Meanwhile. Ahmed Mogaji has resigned from defending Senator Bukola Saraki as a result of which Saraki has asked for adjournment to enable him engage another defense counsel.
The trial Judge obliged him by adjourning the case to November 18 and 19. [myad]
