The Supreme Court has reserved February 5th 2016 as the date to rule on the appeal Senate President Bukola Saraki filed against the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja which affirmed the jurisdiction of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT ) to try him on a 13 count charge of false assets declaration while he was governor of Kwara state.

At the hearing of the case this morning, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mahmud Mohammed, after hearing the brief of the counsels to Saraki and the CCT, ruled that the apex court will deliver the judgement in the first quarter of 2016.
