Saraki moves halt trial today

It seems like you're referring to the ongoing trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki, who is facing charges of false declaration of assets and other financial crimes.

According to reports, the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has indeed halted the trial of Saraki today, citing a pending appeal at the Supreme Court. The tribunal's chairman, Danladi Umar, announced the halt in proceedings, stating that the court cannot continue with the trial while the appeal is pending.

Saraki's lawyers had earlier filed an appeal against the CCT's decision to proceed with the trial despite the pending appeal. The Senate President has been accused of failing to declare his assets properly and of using his position to embezzle public funds.

It's worth noting that the halt in proceedings is a temporary measure, and the trial is likely to resume once the Supreme Court rules on the appeal.
