According to a news story by Sahara Reporters, that Justice Ibrahim Buba of the Federal High Court Lagos, nearly granted an injunction to stop the trial of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, before the Code of Conduct Tribunal without notice to defendants in the suit, has been described as a falsehood and malicious publication.
Prince Ajibola Oluyede, Saraki's counsel and the founding principal of TRLPLAW said the action was meant to preserve Senator Saraki’s fundamental rights to a fair hearing, to be presumed innocent until proved guilty and to liberty.
According to him, his decision to file the application was to seek remedies connected with the politically-motivated arraignment of Senator Saraki before the CCT and an expose further plan to utilize the Respondents in the suit to draw up charges against Senator Saraki and arraign him before a Lagos State High Court.
The respondents in the suit comprised the Attorney General of the Federation, the EFCC, the ICPC, the Inspector General of Police, the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal, their chairmen and a member of the CCT.
Oluyede said, “Contrary to the falsehood in that report, the action was filed on the 30th of September 2015 with Suit No. FHC/L/CS/1507/2015 and was not assigned until the 19th of October 2015 to Justice Buba.
