Again, Saraki's CCT Trial Postponed
The trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki, which was earlier postponed from April 18 to April 25 has again been shifted till the 27th of April.
The Senate President is facing trial on an 18-count charge for an alleged false declaration of assets at the Code of Conduct Tribunal,
CCT.
It will be recalled that the trial began in September 2015 has in recent times suffered setbacks mostly at the instance of the prosecution.
While speaking with Newsmen, the CCT's head of media relations, Ibrahim Alhassan, noted that the prosecution counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, demanded the adjournment saying that he was indisposed.
"The first time, he said it is his fourth prosecution witness that could not make it. Now it is himself,” said Mr. Alhassan.
Mr. Saraki had at the early days of his trial fought to prevent the continuation of his trial.
