Cct saraki loses bid stop trial

You're referring to the recent development in the trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki, who was accused of corruption.

To clarify, the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has indeed rejected Saraki's application to stop his trial. The tribunal ruled that the case against Saraki should proceed, citing lack of merit in his application.

Here's a brief summary of the situation:

• In 2015, Saraki was charged with 18 counts of corruption by the Federal Government, including false declaration of assets and money laundering.
• Saraki has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has maintained that the charges against him are politically motivated.
• In recent weeks, Saraki's legal team filed an application to stop the trial, citing lack of jurisdiction and alleged bias by the tribunal.
• However, the CCT has now rejected this application, ruling that the case against Saraki should proceed.

It's worth noting that Saraki's legal team has already filed an appeal against the CCT's decision, so this is not the final word on the matter. The case will likely continue to unfold in the coming weeks and months.
