Nigeria Police stop Live Coverage Trial of Senate President

The Police has stopped the live coverage of the ongoing trial of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, who is facing a 13-count criminal charge bordering on false declaration of assets preferred against him.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has arrived the Tribunal by 9:30 to face charges against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau

The Court of Appeal and the Federal High Court, both sitting in Abuja, yesterday, refused to shield the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki from being arraigned at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, on a 13-count criminal charge bordering on false declaration of assets preferred against him. The Senate President had approached both courts to provide him shelter and save him from being docked.

SECURITY was unusually tight at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, this morning, as the Senate President and former governor of Kwara state, Bukola Saraki, is appearing before the Danladi Umar-led Tribunal.
