Saraki’s Supporters Storm Tribunal as CCT Reconvenes
By Correspondent
A number of protesters on Monday staged a peaceful protest apparently to declare their support for the President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, whose corruption trial resumed before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT). He is standing trial over alleged false assets declaration and fraud before the tribunal presided over by Justice Umar Danladi. The protesters carried placards with various inscriptions such as, ”˜Nigerian youths and students stand firm with Saraki.’ ”˜Let the Senate continue working,’ and ”˜No to the ongoing witch-hunt of Saraki.’ They also chanted slogans such as Sai namu mai gaskiya in Hausa language, meaning: our man is a person of truth.Â
