The Justices of the Court of Appeal in Abuja have adjourned indefinitely, the judgment in the trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki by the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
Saraki’s appeal was against the jurisdiction of the Code of Conduct Bureau to try him without the full composition of its judges.
Last Friday, Justices M.A.A. Adumien, J.E. Ekanem and M. Mustapha adjourned ruling in the matter till today.
Saraki’s lawyers had asked the Justices to determine that the tribunal lacked jurisdiction to try former Saraki for failure to declare his assets as provided for by the Code of Conduct law for public officers.
Saraki is scheduled to return to the Code of Conduct Tribunal on Wednesday to face federal prosecutors who maintain that they have evidence against him.
