The Code of Conduct Tribunal on Wednesday adjourned the trial of Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, indefinitely. This decision, the court said, was forced by the absence of a principal witness on the side of the prosecution.
The trial had on May 25 adjourned till Wednesday, for the cross-examination of the witness, Michael Wetkas, to continue.
The tribunal chairman, Danladi Umar, said the adjournment was to give the court time to hear other cases. The prosecution and defence teams also said the break would allow them prepare their cases better. It was later gathered that Wetkas was actually attending another trial at the Federal High Court, Abuja.
The development is coming 24 hours after an expected ruling on Saraki’s case at the Court of Appeal, Abuja, stalled after the court failed to form a quorum.
