“Negative reports” | Judge pulls out from Saraki’s case

Justice Ahmed Mohammed, who is to rule on Senate President Bukola Saraki’s ex parte application to stop the Code of Conduct Tribunal, has withdrawn from the case.

Justice Mohammed returned the case to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mahmud Mohammed, on Wednesday, for reassigning to another judge.

Explaining the rationale behind his decision, Mohammed said: “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.

“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.”
