The Code of Conduct Tribunal has dismissed the case of false asset declaration against Nigeria’s Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
Mr. Saraki made a no-case submission on May 4, after the prosecution closed its case.
In the ruling, the tribunal chairman, Danladi Umar, said the prosecution had failed to prove its allegations.
Mr. Saraki was on September 18 last year docked at the Code of Conduct Tribunal on a 13-count charge bordering on alleged corruption and false declaration of assets.
He was specifically accused of deliberately manipulating the asset declaration form he submitted prior to his assumption of his current position as senate president.
Although he pleaded not guilty to the charges, claiming his ordeal was politically motivated, the CCT adjourned the case on several occasions for further hearing.
