The first prosecution witness against Senator Bukola Saraki who is tried for 13-count charge including false asset declaration has entered the dock.
The witness is a young man in black suit. His identity is yet to be disclosed.
But Saraki’s counsel, Paul Usoro again has asked the court for adjournment but chairman CCT, Justice Umar said he has already ruled on it and asked him to sit down.
But Usoro persisted, arguing that he is coming into the matter for the first time and the lead counsel is not available.
He asked the court to adjourn to enable the lead counsel come in or to enable him take proper instructions to proceed with the case.
Justice Umar said the witness should be allowed to give his evidence, then he can leave cross-examine or wait for the lead counsel to be present.
