Supreme Court Dismisses Saraki's Appeal, Required To Face Code of Conduct Tribunal Soon

The supreme court has dismissed the appeal of Senate President Bukola Saraki seeking to stop his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal. In the lead judgment taken by Justice Walter Samuel Onnoghen, the court held that the Code of Conduct Tribunal  was properly constituted to exercise jurisdiction over Saraki’s trial.

It also resolved the issue of whether the tribunal had jurisdiction to try criminal matters and issue bench warrants against Saraki. “I find no merit in the appeal, it is hereby dismissed,” the court ruled.


The apex court had scheduled February 5 for judgment in the appeal of the senate president against the Code of Conduct Tribunal . ‬
