Code of Conduct: Supreme Court Fixes Nov 12 For Saraki’s Appeal To Stop Trial.

The Supreme Court has fixed Thursday, November 12, for hearing of the appeal of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, challenging the legality of his trial by the federal government at the Code of Conduct Tribunal for false asset declaration.

This is coming on the heel of denial by his lawyers that they walked on tribunal last Thursday to protest the alleged bias of the tribunal against their client.

The legal team denied that they staged a walkout on the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) in Abuja to protest the alleged bias of the Chairman, Justice Danlandi Umar against Saraki.

At the resumed trial on Thursday, the three Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) , namely Mahmoud Magagi, Ahmed Raji, and Saka Abimbola Isau, were said to have withdrawn their services and left the tribunal abruptly.

However, in a statement at the weekend, Raji debunked the claim that the Saraki legal team walked out on the tribunal.
