Senate President Bukola Saraki has informed the Code of Conduct Tribunal that he intends to file a no-case submission in his ongoing trial for false asset declaration.

Saraki’s counsel, Mr. Paul Erokoro, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, informed the tribunal of the decision after the lead prosecutor, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), closed his case against the Senate President.

Jacobs closed his case after calling his fourth witness, an official of the Ilorin Branch of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, Mr Bayo Dauda.

Having opted against opening his defence in favour of a no-case submission, the Tribunal Chairman, Danladi Umar, fixed June 8 for the continuation of the case.
