The fundamental rights’ enforcement suit by Saraki, will be ruled by Justice Abdul Kafarati of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
Saraki’s contended a breach of his right to fair hearing by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) by not first, inviting him to either deny or admit the alleged irregularities in his asset declaration forms, before filling a charge against him by the Tribunal.
While adopting his client’s final written address this month, Oluyede urged the court to grant the reliefs sought by the Senate president, arguing that his client’s trial was instigated outside the CCB.
He asked the court to, among others, quash the charges before the CCT and restrain the tribunal, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and other respondents from further arresting or prosecuting him on the issue.
Jacobs argued that Saraki was inviting the Federal High Court to review an issue determined by the Supreme Court, the court should not allow itself be led into sitting on appeal over a decision of the nation’s apex court.
Respondents’ lawyer Rotimi Jacobs (SAN) objected, urging the court to dismiss the suit on the grounds that it was an abuse of court process.
He noted that similar issues were determined by the Supreme Court, which ordered Saraki to submit himself for trial before the CCT.
