False Asset Declaration Charge: Saraki Discharged, Acquitted

The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has dismissed the case of false asset declaration against Nigeria’s Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

Mr. Saraki made a no-case submission on May 4, after the prosecution closed its case.
In the ruling, the tribunal chairman, Danladi Umar, said: “All in all, the prosecution could not prove its case. The witness evidence were fraught with incoherence of fact.”

"Prosecution could not prove a prima facie against Saraki, prosecution failed to link the defendant with crime."
