The embattled Senate President is still not giving up on stopping Danladi and following his failed attempt to procure an order of the Federal High Court to disqualify the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Danladi Umar, from his trial, Saraki has applied directly to the tribunal to have its chairman disqualified.
In the application filed at the CCT’s Registry on April 19, Saraki, through his lawyer, Ajibola Oluyede, is raising the same issue of rights violation, which he canvassed in the fundamental rights enforcement suit that Justice Adamu Abadu Kafarati of the Federal High Court, Abuja dismissed in a judgment on April 15.
Just as in the suit before the federal High Court, Saraki is contending in the fresh application that he would likely not get fair trial because Umar was allegedly being investigated for corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the same agency which is conducting his (Saraki’s) prosecution before the CCT.
He alleged that since the CCT chairman was being investigated, he was likely to be manipulated by the Executive to give a judgment that favours the prosecution.
He argued that the current composition of the tribunal would not guaranty its fairness and impartiality.
