Breaking court orders saraki face trial

It appears that you are referring to the ongoing trial of Bukola Saraki, a former President of the Nigerian Senate, who is facing charges of false assets declaration and other related offenses.

To provide some context, Saraki was arraigned before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) in 2015 on charges of false assets declaration, money laundering, and other related offenses. The charges were brought against him by the Federal Government of Nigeria, alleging that he failed to declare his assets properly while serving as the Governor of Kwara State from 2003 to 2007.

Saraki has consistently denied the allegations, claiming that they are politically motivated and aimed at undermining his political career. He has also argued that the charges are baseless and lack merit.

In 2017, the CCT acquitted Saraki of the charges, ruling that the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. However, the Federal Government appealed the decision, and in 2019, the Court of Appeal overturned the CCT's acquittal and ordered Saraki to face a retrial.

The retrial is currently ongoing, with the prosecution presenting its case against Saraki. The trial has been marked by controversy, with Saraki's lawyers accusing the prosecution of presenting weak evidence and engaging in unfair tactics.

In recent developments, the trial has been adjourned several times due to various reasons, including the absence of key witnesses and the need for further investigations. The next hearing date has not been fixed yet.

It's worth noting that the trial is being closely watched by the public and the media, with many Nigerians following the developments closely. The outcome of the trial is expected to have significant implications for Saraki's political career and the country's political landscape.
