The Court of Appeal in Abuja has adjourned the hearing of the objection to the trial of the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, till Thursday, October 13, 2015.
The Court of Appeal had earlier scheduled Monday, October 11, 2015 to look into the objection filed by counsels to the Senate President, requesting the court to stop the trial of Senator Bukola Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal for lack of jurisdiction.
The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) had dragged the Senate President to the tribunal over an alleged under-declaration of assets.
Although the content of the new processes were not disclosed to journalists, the court is expected to sit on the new date to hear the objections raised by the Senate President. (Channels TV)
