During
the interview with a lawyer today from Mannamart.blogspot.com. The Code Of Conduct Tribunal has ruled that Senate
president, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has no case to
answer in the 18 charges of
non-declaration of assets brought against him by the Federal Government.
The CCB
had on September 16, 2015 filed a 13-count charge against Saraki for alleged
false and anticipatory declaration of assets.
The
charges were increased to 15 on April 18, 2016.
Another
charge was added on April 27, 2016 to make it 16.
The
Federal Government later increased the charges to 17 on January 11, 2017 and
finally to 18 on February 23, 2017
The Danladi Umar-led two-man panel of the CCT had reserved its ruling after hearing Saraki’s no-case submission and the federal government’s objection to it on June 8.

The
Senate president, through his no-case submission filed before the CCT on May
26, 2017, contended that none of the exhibits tendered and no evidence given by
the four prosecution witnesses linked him to the alleged offences to warrant
him to defend the charges.
