CCT: Trial Resumes October 21

Justice Danladi Yakubu Umar of the Code of Conduct Tribunal sitting in Abuja has fixed Wednesday, October 21, 2015 for commencement of trial of the Senate President, Olubukola Saraki.

Saraki is standing trial before the CCT over allegation of false declaration of assets while he was the governor of Kwara State and thereafter as a Senator.

The Senate President was at the Tribunal on Tuesday after failing to appear at two previous times. He initially declined being at the dock on Tuesday, but later agreed.

He, however, pleaded not guilty to all the 13-count charge read to him.
