Judge who called cct to Saraki case pulls out of case.

A Federal high court, Abuja Justice, Justice Ahmed Mohammed, who heard Senate president Bukola Saraki's exparte application to stop his trial at the Code Of Conduct Tribunal, has withdrawn from the case. Justice Ahmed Mohammed, citing NEGATIVE REPORTS on the case, remitted the case of Senate President Bukola Saraki to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed for reassigning to another judge.

“While it is not my intention to join issues with the authors of the said publication, I strongly feel that the records should be set straight,” said Mohammed.

“In the first instance, I have never made any restraining order against any of the defendants and in particular, the code of conduct tribunal vide a motion ex parte or any motion at all

“Those who are conversant with the workings of this court know it is not in the habit of granting restraining orders to stop public institutions from carrying out their statutory duties.”
