Senate President Bukola Saraki and Ike Ekweremadu, his deputy, will be
arraigned before an Abuja high court on June 27 for alleged forgery, we
can confirm. Yusuf Haliru, justice of the high court, on Tuesday,
ordered that they be served through substituted means due to their
evading tricks.
The summons for their trial will now be pasted on National Assembly notice board, to avoid hiding. Saraki, Ekweremadu, Salisu Maikasuwa, former clerk of the national assembly, and Benedict Efeturi, his deputy, are facing charges of alleged criminal conspiracy and forgery of the senate standing rules, 2015, brought against them by the federal government.
Saraki is at the Code of Conduct Tribunal where his trial for alleged false declaration of assets continues.
