The trial of the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) over alleged false assets declaration was on Wednesday stalled due to the absence of prosecution witness, Michael Wetkas.
The trial, which was supposed to continue did not hold following a letter by the prosecutor, Mr Rotimi Jacobs indicating that the chief witness, Mr Michael Wetkas, will be testifying at another case.
No date has been set for the continuation of the trial.
