Nigeria’s Supreme Court in a landmark ruling on Friday discharged Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, freeing him of all corruption charges brought against him at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
The apex court in its ruling delivered by Justice Centus Nweze held that the decision of the Court of Appeal holding that a prima facie case was made against Saraki is “the juridical equivalent of a forensic somersault and the court cannot lend its support to a caricature of justice. Judgement of the Court of Appeal is hereby vacated and in its place an order that Saraki is hereby discharged and his appeal allowed.”
