#BBB NEWS| Senate President Saraki’s Lawyers Storm Out Of Court As Code of Conduct Tribunal Rules To Continue Trial

The Code of Conduct Tribunal sitting over the false assets declaration case of Nigeria’s Senate President Bukola Saraki has ruled that trial must continue regardless of a pending appeal against the continuation of the case at the Supreme Court.

The decision of the CCT forced Saraki’s lead lawyers to stage a  walkout in protest against the tribunal’s ruling.

Lawyers to Mr. Saraki had applied to the court for another adjournment of the case citing an appeal filed yesterday at the Supreme court of Nigeria. 

After a short adjournment the lead judge at the tribunal Justice Danladi Yakubu Umar ruled that the case would continue and urge Saraki’s lawyers to prepare for the continuation of the proceedings.
