The Supreme Court, this morning, stayed further hearing on the
13-count criminal charge pending against the Senate President, Dr.
Olubukola Saraki, before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT.
The apex court, in a ruling today, directed the Justice Danladi Umar-led tribunal to suspend the trial to enable it to hear and determine the substantive appeal that Saraki lodged before it.
This was even as the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs, SAN,
entered an undertaking before the apex court that “no unusual step will
be taken by the federal government”, in relation to the matter.
In their ruling, a five-man panel of Justices of the Supreme Court led by Justices John Fabiyi, held: “It is imperative to state that all the parties, including the Code of Conduct Tribunal, should tarry a while to enable this court to determine the appeal before it.
