The Senate President, Bukola Saraki has just arrived the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, for his ongoing trial in company of just two senators.
Saraki who is currently standing trial on a 13 count charge bordering on false declaration of assets arrived the tribunal in company of Senator, Tayo Alasoadura of Ondo State while the other Senator is yet to be identified.
This is a significant reduction from the number of Senators that previously accompanied Saraki to the tribunal in solidarity.
Check by DAILY POST shows that the number of Senators have being on a consistent drop since the trial gained momentum.
The ongoing trial has seen the prosecution witnessed disclosing how Saraki used over N522m to purchase a property in Lagos.
The witness, Michael Wetkas, who is an operative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, told the tribunal how the Senate President used his account with the Guaranteed Trust Bank to launder money and procure properties while he was governor of Kwara State.
Wetkas had disclosed how Saraki transferred over $73, 000 to a foreign account from his account with Guaranteed Trust Bank.
He had said that documents relating to the transfer were burnt during a fire incident that occurred in one of the branches of the bank.
Details shortly…
