Oh Oh!!! 😱😱😱Drama as Saraki’s lawyer walks out on CCT
It was bizarre drama at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on Thursday as lawyers representing the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki walked out on the two-man panel of the Tribunal in Abuja in protest of its decision to proceed with their client’s trial without prejudice to his pending appeal at the Supreme Court.
Saraki was charged for alleged false declaration of assets during his reign as governor of Kwara state.
The embattled senate President had, through his legal team made up of three Senior Advocated who include Mahmud Magaji, Saka Isau and Ahmed Raji, raised a preliminary objection challenging the jurisdiction of the tribunal to entertain the matter.
But the tribunal after hearing arguments on the said objection, dismissed it as it ruled that it had the powers to sit over the matter.
Dissatisfied, Saraki approached the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, seeking to upturn the tribunal decision, an appeal which has since failed as the Court of Appeal affirmed the jurisdiction of the tribunal to entertain the case.

A jealous IT worker used tracking devices and CCTV to spy on his cheating wife before stabbing her 51 times to death.
Andrew Munro, 51, killed mum-of-three Clare Munro, 47, as she begged for her life at their home in near Warrington, on November 2 last year.
In her dying moments Mrs Munro turned to her husband and said: “Andy, please don’t kill me, I need to phone 999 and get help.
“Please let me do this.”
The IT worker agreed and turned to leave but then stabbed her again, during which time his “calm and collected voice” could be heard on an emergency call along with further attacks, reports the Liverpool Echo.
He said “I’m really sorry Clare, but you know what you have done to me” before adding “can’t believe what you have done, I really do love you so much”.

Yaya Toure blasts African football players, says they don’t hav enough hunger in them…
Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure says some African footballers need to show more desire to make it to the very top of the game. Toure, 30, is in the running to win the African Footballer of the Year award for a fifth time after the list of nominees was cut to a 10-man shortlist earlier this week.
The Ivory Coast international is also the only African on the shortlist for the FIFA Ballon d’Or award for the fourth year in a row.
“I admit that I see too many of them acting casually,” he told France Football. “You’d say that they’re not always very hungry. Not hungry enough, for my taste. They’re not conscious enough of the effort required to get to the very top.
Of course it can go quite quickly at the start. Too quickly, without a doubt. But when it comes to climbing the final steps to get to the very top with [Lionel] Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, there’s no longer anyone left.”
Toure said part of the problem was that players like himself, compatriot Didier Drogba, former Cameroon striker Samuel Eto’o, Ghanaian midfielder Michael Essien and ex-Nigeria attacker Jay-Jay Okocha had set the bar very high for those following them. But the Ivorian captain, who won the African Nations Cup with his country in January, believes some of the current generation could be lacking ambition.
