Supporters of Senate President Bukola Saraki shout slogans outside Nigeria’s Code of Conduct Tribunal in Abuja.
A Nigerian court yesterday rejected a request by the country’s Senate president to overturn an order for him to appear before a lower court to answer allegations of corruption. Bukola Saraki, who leads the upper chamber of parliament and is the third-highest politician in Nigeria after the president and vice-president, has been accused of making a false declaration of assets. The Code of Conduct tribunal, a special court that tries such cases, on Friday ordered police to arrest Saraki after he failed to appear to answer 13 counts of corruption. But appeal court judge Moore Adumein yesterday rejected Saraki’s application for the summons to be overturned.
