The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, is sitting in the accused box before the Code of Conduct Tribunal where he is being charged for alleged false declaration of assets.

Mr. Saraki snubbed the tribunal and did not appear before it on Friday and Monday, despite an arrest warrant issued against him.


He faces a 13-count charge bordering on corruption and false assets declaration.

He arrived at the tribunal at about 10.20am, accompanied by deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, and other senators.

The police has barred live coverage of the proceeding.
