The prosecution witness against Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and Economic and Financial Commission’s operative, Mr. Michael Wetcas, Tuesday disowned the documents tendered against him, saying most of the petitions were filed in 2012, while his investigating team was constituted in 2014.
This came as spirited efforts by the embattled Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, to persuade the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, sitting in Abuja to suspend further hearing on the 13-count criminal charge pending against him for one week crumbled yesterday. Saraki had through his team of lawyers led by Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN, begged the tribunal to adjourn the matter for at least seven days to enable him properly study some of the exhibits the Federal Government tendered in evidence against him.
The request was opposed by the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, who urged the tribunal to refuse it for want of merit.
