The trial of the Senate President, Dr. Olubukola Saraki, at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, sitting in Abuja,commenced on a dramatic note this morning, with the accused person, refusing to mount the dock.
THE EMPTY DOCK AS THE SENATE PRESIDENT BUKOLA SARAKI WAS ABSENT AT THE CODE OF CONDUCT TRIBUNAL WHERE IS STANDING TRIAL FOR PERJURY IN ABUJA ON MONDAY (21/9/15)
The trial tribunal, headed by Justice Danladi Umar, called up Saraki’s case at exactly 10:32am.
Following Saraki’s refusal to stand up as his case was mentioned, the tribunal Chairman, Justice Umar, demanded that he should leave his seat and enter inside the dock.
The Senate President who is currently sandwiched by his colleagues and friends inside the court, called the bluff of the tribunal by retaining his seat.
