The Supreme Court has ordered the
suspension of the trial of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, at the Code of
Conduct Tribunal.
Mr. Saraki is facing a 13-count corruption
charge at the tribunal. He denies the allegation of false asset declaration and
graft.
Two High Courts and a Court of Appeal had
earlier rejected his request to quash the charges.
Before doing doing so, the court of appeal
halted the case briefly to allow it take a decision.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court also said
the corruption case against Mr. Saraki “should tarry a while” pending the
conclusion of an appeal he brought before it.
