In spite of a Federal High Court ex parte motion halting the arraignment
\nof Senate President Bukola Saraki, the Code of Conduct Tribunal on Friday
\ncommenced the prosecution of the case.<\/p>\n
The Prosecution Counsel, Mr Muslim Hassan, asked the tribunal to issue a
\nbench warrant against Saraki for failing to appear before it.<\/p>\n
Hassan faulted the Federal High Court for granting the ex parte motion
\nhalting Saraki\u2019s arraignment.<\/p>\n
He argued that the Federal High Court had coordinate jurisdiction with the
\ntribunal and as such, had no powers to halt trial of the
\nTribunal.<\/p>\n
The Defence Counsel, Mr Joseph Daudu, however, prayed the tribunal to
\nadjourn the case until after the Federal High Court sitting on Monday.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Chairman tribunal, Mr Umar Danladi, adjourned the case till
\n1.30 p.m. for a decision to be taken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
