Saraki is facing a 13-count criminal charge bordering on false
declaration of assets preferred against him by the Code of Conduct
Bureau before the Code of Conduct Tribunal.The adjournment followed the pending judgment of the appeal court on the trial of Saraki.
While Saraki’s lawyer, Mahmud Magaji, prayed that the trial should be adjourned , the prosecuting counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, argued the tribunal to adjourn the trial out of respect for the appeal court, which reserved judgment on the suit filed by the Senate President to stop his trial for alleged false declaration of assets.
Umar, objected the prayer of Saraki’s counsel, saying the he (Saraki) might “go and relax” as he gave a two-week time-off. Additional reports from Vanguard Newspaper.
