The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has
dismissed an application filed by Senate
President, Bukola Saraki, challenging the
jurisdiction of the Code of Conduct Tribunal
(CCT) to entertain the charges of false asset
declaration leveled against him by the
Federal government.
Delivering judgment on Saraki's application
today, Justice Abdul Aboki who led the five-
man panel ruled that the appeal is
unmeritorious and was then entirely
dismissed. The judges unanimously ruled
that the tribunal was constitutionally
empowered to entertain and try him for the
16-charges of corruption and false asset
declaration brought against him.
