THE Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on
Tuesday entered the dock at the Code of Conduct Tribunal in Abuja where
he was arraigned for false assets declaration charges.
Saraki arrived at the tribunal at 9.20am
in company with 50 senators, beating by 40 minutes the 10am deadline
the judge had set for the Inspector General of Police to provide the
Senate president.
He pleaded not guilty to all the 13
charges slammed on him by the Code of Conduct Bureau and his trial has
been scheduled to hold on October 21, 22 and 23.
Saraki appeared at the tribunal after the courts had refused his request that the proceedings at the CCT be stopped.
