Saraki re institutes fundamental rights suit

You're referring to the news about Bukola Saraki, the former President of the Nigerian Senate, filing a fundamental rights suit!

According to reports, Saraki has instituted a fundamental rights suit against the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) and its Chairman, Danladi Umar, over alleged bias and abuse of power in the ongoing trial of his alleged false assets declaration.

In the suit, Saraki is seeking an order of the court to restrain the CCT from proceeding with the trial, citing alleged bias and unfairness. He is also seeking an order for the CCT to recuse itself from the trial, as well as an order for the Chairman to step down from the case.

Saraki's lawyers argue that the CCT has consistently demonstrated bias against him, and that the Chairman has made public statements that have prejudiced the case. They also claim that the tribunal has failed to provide a fair and impartial hearing, and that Saraki's rights to a fair trial have been breached.

The CCT had earlier convicted Saraki of false assets declaration and sentenced him to a fine, but Saraki has appealed the verdict. The case is ongoing, and it remains to be seen how the court will rule on Saraki's fundamental rights suit.

What do you think about this development? Do you think Saraki has a strong case, or is this just a delaying tactic?
