Proceedings will resume soon for ruling on whether or not to issue bench warrant against the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, for his refusal to attend court despite being served with summons.
While prosecution lawyer, Muslim Hassan, argued that Saraki should be arrested and produced in court, Joseph Daudu (SAN), who later took over from Mahmud Magaji (SAN) for Saraki, appealed for caution.
Daudu said the case has political implication and urged the tribunal to wait till Monday for the outcome of an application filed by Saraki at the Federal High Court, Abuja.
He said since the court has ordered respondents in the case, including the tribunal, to explain why it should not grant Saraki’s prayers for restraining order, there was need for the tribunal to act cautiously.
