Saraki re arraigned on amended charges

You're referring to the news about Bukola Saraki, the former President of the Nigerian Senate, being re-arraigned on amended charges.

To provide some context, Bukola Saraki was initially charged with 18 counts of corruption and money laundering in 2015, related to his alleged involvement in the misappropriation of funds during his tenure as Governor of Kwara State. The charges were filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

However, in 2016, the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) acquitted Saraki of the charges, citing lack of evidence. The EFCC subsequently appealed the decision, and in 2017, the Court of Appeal ordered Saraki's retrial.

In 2019, the EFCC filed new charges against Saraki, which were amended to include 15 counts of corruption and money laundering. The amended charges alleged that Saraki used his position as Governor to embezzle public funds and launder money.

On March 24, 2021, Saraki was re-arraigned on the amended charges before the Federal High Court in Abuja. The court ordered that the case be adjourned to April 7, 2021, for further proceedings.

It's worth noting that Saraki has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings. The case is ongoing, and it remains to be seen how it will ultimately be resolved.
