Embattled Senate President, Bukola Saraki, is at it again as he has taken another step to stop his ongoing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal for false and anticipatory asset declaration.
Saraki, whose numerous legal actions, seeking to stall the trial, had been dismissed by the CCT itself and other courts, including the Supreme Court, is through a fresh motion, asking the tribunal chairman, Danladi Umar, to disqualify himself from the case.
The Senate President, through the fresh motion filed at the CCT on Tuesday, asked Umar to disqualify himself from the trial on the basis that the tribunal chairman was allegedly under criminal investigation by the EFCC.
Saraki is being prosecuted by the Federal Government before the CCT on 13 counts, including keeping a foreign account and making false asset declaration in the forms he submitted to the CCB between 2003 and 2011 when he served as the governor of Kwara State.
