The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, who appeared at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, today, 22nd of September, 2015 has pleaded not guilty to a 13-count charge on corruption and alleged false declaration of assets brought against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau......
As the case opened, Mr. Saraki’s lawyers argued that the matter was not a criminal case, and challenged the jurisdiction of the tribunal. The prosecution however opposed the argument, while the tribunal ruled that the matter was criminal and directed Mr. Saraki to go ahead with his plea.
The Senate President however pleaded not guilty and was granted bail on self recognition. His trial will continue on the 21st of October.
50 senators were said to have accompanied the him to the tribunal. I guess it is a case of a slap on one, is a slap on all.
