of his arraignment at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
In the appeal, his counsel, Mr Joseph Daudu, SAN has asked the appellate court to set aside the proceeding of the Code of Conduct Tribunal held in
September.
Daudu had prayed the court to also set aside the criminal charges of false declaration of assets, filed against Saraki by the federal government.
Saraki through his counsel had challenged the composition of the Code of Conduct Tribunal which has only two members instead of
three,
He had maintained that since the tribunal did not sit in compliance with the constitutional provision of three members, his arraignment should be declared invalid.
