March 24 has been fixed for ruling on a motion by the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, seeking to quash the charges of false assets declaration preferred against him at the Code of Conduct Tribunal
The tribunal led by Justice Danladi Umar fixed the date after taking arguments for and against the motion.
Senate President’s lawyer, Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN), in his argument said the tribunal lacked jurisdiction to entertain the charges against his client , on among other grounds, that the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice lacked the powers to file charges before the tribunal.
