The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja on Tuesday, November 14, decided to reserve its judgment on the appeal filed by the federal government to challenge the Code of Conduct Tribunal’s acquittal of the Senate president, Bukola Saraki. The Punch reports that the three-man panel of justices led by Tinuade Akomolafe-Wilson took the decision after parties to the case adopted their appellant’s and respondent’s briefs. The report said the date of the delivery of the judgment would be communicated to the parties. NAIJ.com had earlier reported how President Muhammadu Buhari's government filed a notice of appeal against the acquittal of Saraki. This was after the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) dismissed the case of false asset declaration against Nigeria’s Senate president Saraki on June 14.

He also said he was confident that the ruling of the higher court will not be anything different from the judgement given by the CCT. The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, on Wednesday, June 21, revealed why the federal government appealed Saraki's Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) judgement. Malami said his commitment to the ongoing anti-corruption fight was responsible for his decision to authorise the appeal against the judgment. Is the Nigerian police your friend?
