A Federal High
Court in Abuja has
summoned the
Code of Conduct
Bureau to appear
before it on
September 21, to
show cause why it
should not be
restrained from
arraigning Senate
President Bukola
Saraki over
allegations
bordering on false
declaration of
assets. Saraki, in
an exparte motion
wants the court to
stop Federal

further step to
arraign or prefer
any charge against
him, pending the
hearing and
determination of
the substantive
suit he filed before
the court.
In a
ruling, Justice
Ahmed
Mohammed,
ordered the
Federal Ministry of
Justice, chairmen
of the Code of
Conduct Bureau
and Tribunal to
appear before him
on Monday to
show cause why
they should not be
stopped from
arraigning the
senate President.
Justice Mohammed
also ordered that
the respondents in
the motion should
be served with all
the court
processes. The
Judge held that the
order was made in
pursuant to the
provision of Order

Federal High
Court, Civil
procedure Rules
