A High Court judge who granted an order that appeared to halt the trial of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, over alleged corruption, has stood down from the case.
Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court excused himself from the
case on Wednesday, and transferred the matter to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mahmud Mohammed, for reassigning, the News Agency of Nigeria reported.
He said he took the decision due to “negative reports”.
Mr. Saraki is facing a 13-count charge of alleged corruption and false declaration of assets before the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
He denies wrongdoing and says the case was instigated by those angry he became the Senate president.
After the Code of Conduct Bureau filed charges against him two weeks ago, Mr. Saraki approached a high court to block the trial.
Justice Mohammed summoned the chairman of Code of Conduct Bureau and officials of the Ministry of Justice to explain why he should not order the stoppage of the trial.
The judge’s injunction was rejected by the Code of Conduct Tribunal which argued that the two courts were of coordinate jurisdiction.
Mr. Saraki later appeared before the tribunal after the Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal, and asked him to face trial.
On Tuesday, Mr. Saraki was given a vote of confidence by 83 senators.

I wonder what he means by ''Negative reports''
I think the drama is even more serious than we know!...The people calling for the senate Presidents head are not better than him,so i beg to be excused out of this post...mscheeeew!
This life! We are still here we'd see how it ends.

DeleteSeriously with people like u supporting this looters Nigeria will never get better. Forget ur political affiliation lets move this country forward by condemning wrong acts. Let me ask u how is ur life? Is the world OK for u? Don't u wish ur children getting better health care with all this money they are stealing? Have u ever reasoned what will happen to ur grandchildren if Nigerians continue to think the way ur thinking.
Delete@Nwa Amaka, there's no Nigeria politican that us not corrupt. Saraki is even holier than his accusers. Nobody should give a dog a bad name just to hang it. Saraki remains the Senate President until he is found guilty. BTW, he is APC Member and I am definitely not a fan of APC.
Delete@nzube izuu you haven't made any sense with your comment yet ! These people are ripping us off our entitlements as citizens of this country. You are so shallow and brain dead, the typical Nigerian would always fight for their looters even when dem dey house dey soak garri . grow some sense abeg. Goat

DeleteFaceless Anons. Even with my stupidity you are still dying on top my vomit. Yimu to all of you. I believe in action, let me know your faces, stop hiding under anonymous. There's a limit to all things and you guys have exceeded it. Your generations will always breed goatlike human beings.
DeleteNa you the curse go follow mad girl.
Delete@nzube Izzu you would breed goat like human beings cow dunk like you !
DeleteA very wise decision.
ReplyDeleteCorrupt people should be swept out of Nigeria by all means
ReplyDeletepoliticks oooo
ReplyDeleteSomeone is probably 'talking' to the judge.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he doesn't want to be bribed, and he doesn't want to lose his life.
So he's backing out.
Ok.
Saraki
ReplyDeleteTinubu is behind all this
They just want to bring down saraki by all means. Politics everywhere

ReplyDeleteBlaze on Saraki!!!
Nigeria's future President.
The negative report was written by Sahara Reporters. They claim the judge favours Saraki when he has a case before him. This recent one is the second case of corruption against Saraki coming before him.
ReplyDeleteThe judge has done an honourable thing.
When witch hunting is involved
DeleteU have to do the honourable thing!
The fear of Saraki

When powerful men speaks..........
ReplyDeleteThey should leave Seraki alone jor

By negative reports he meant to say that he did not interpret the constitution well before giving the oder.
ReplyDeleteSaraki won't go down alone though.
Jagaban is Lowkey behind Saraki's ordeals. Let's see who wins in the end! Happy independence Bvs
