The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, has dismissed 15 out of 18 false assets declaration charges against the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, by the Federal Government.But the court asked the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) to conduct a retrial of Saraki on the remaining three charges.
The appeal was filed against the decision of the CCT which discharged and acquitted the Senate president on the 18-count charge in a ruling on no- case submission delivered in June this year.The appellate court said Saraki had to make some explanations on the three counts only.
Justice Tinuade Akomolafe-Wilson, in the 70-page unanimous judgment held that there was no evidence to substantiate the 15 out of the 18 counts as valid charges.
