The trial of Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, alongside two others on charges of forgery of Senate Standing Orders, was this morning stalled before a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Jabi, Abuja, due to the court’s vacation that commenced today.
Saraki, Ekweremadu, a former Clerk to the National Assembly, Salisu Maikasu, and his then deputy, Benedict Efeturi were in court briefly today but left as soon as they were informed that the court was not going to sit.
A four-man prosecution team led by former Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice of Kano State, Aliyu Umar (SAN), was in court to take the new date for commencement of trial which has now been fixed for the twenty-eighth of September.
