The Court of Appeal, sitting in Abuja will deliver judgment on Friday (today), 30 October on the appeal by Senate President, Bukola Saraki over his trial for alleged false asset declaration at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
Saraki wants the court stop his trial at the CCT, where he has been slapped with 13-count charge on false declaration of assets.
Judgment was initially fixed for 19 October, but was postponed at the last minute, with the court promising to communicate a new date to parties.
Notices were sent to parties informing them about Friday’s date, The Nation reported.
In the appeal on October 16, Saraki’s lawyer, Joseph Daudu (SAN), urged the Court of Appeal to set aside the entire proceedings before the CCT, including the charge before it.
He also argued that the tribunal not being a superior court recognised by the Constitution could not exercise criminal jurisdiction.
