The Code of Conduct Tribunal has stopped the live coverage of the ongoing trial of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, who is facing a 13-count criminal charge bordering on false declaration of assets preferred against him.

In a report by Channels TV, the Tribunal barred all media outfits from broadcasting the proceedings, hence the News outfit discontinued its live coverage.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has arrived the Tribunal by 9:30 to face charges against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau. The trial judge is expected as at the time of filing this report.

SECURITY was unusually tight at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, this morning, as the Senate President and former governor of Kwara state, Bukola Saraki, is expected to appear before the Danladi Umar-led Tribunal. 

The Court of Appeal and the Federal High Court, both sitting in Abuja, yesterday, refused to shield the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki from being arraigned at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, on a 13-count criminal charge bordering on false declaration of assets preferred against him. The Senate President had approached both courts to provide him shelter and save him from being docked.
