This is the fourth time the senate president will appear at the
CCT. The first time was on September 22, 2015 after the tribunal had
issued a bench warrant for his arrest. He was accompanied to the
tribunal by at least 50 senators on that day.
On the same day, he was docked but he pleaded not guilty to 13
counts of false declaration of assets brought against him by the Code of
Conduct Bureau (CCB).
The second time was on October 21, 2015, when he was accompanied by
at least 81 senators to the tribunal. And the third time was on
November 5, 2015, when his lawyers – Joseph Daodu and Mahmud Magaji,
withdrew from the case in protest of the decision of the tribunal to
continue the matter despite an appeal against the constitution and
jurisdiction of the tribunal at the supreme court.
