Senate President Trial Adjourned To March

                              

The Trial of the Senate president  before the Code of Conduct Tribunal that was scheduled for today Friday has been adjourned to March 18 as a result of Dr  Saraki new counsel Kanu Agabi (SAN) Informing  the tribunal that he had filed a motion which he said must be heard before trial could commence.

The Prosecution argued that he was  not served with any motion and insisted that by virtue of the judgment of the Supreme Court delivered on February 5 which validated the trial, the day’s business was for the prosecution to open  its case.
After Apology by Mr Agabi for the erroneous service of his motion on the Federal Ministry of Justice instead of the prosecution, said since his motion was challenging the jurisdiction of the tribunal, it must be heard before going into the substantive case.
However, the Chairman of the Tribunal resolved that the two parties should exchange other processes in relation to the motion before March 18‎.
