The Code of Conduct Tribunal has over-ruled an application for an adjournment by the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and ordered his trial on 13 counts of false and anticipatory asset declaration, which was scheduled to commence today.

The Danladi Umar-led panel of the CCT gave the order in a ruling after a stand-down which he took to prepare its ruling after entertaining argument and counter-argument on Saraki’s application.

Umar ruled that the defendant’s application for adjournment offended provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.
