The federal government of Nigerian
yesterday, has appealed the ruling of the CCT that acquitted Sen. Bukola
Saraki, Senate President of the federal republic of corruption and false asset
declaration
The notice of appeal which
was signed by the Rotimi Jacobs Chief counsel of the State and his Assistant
Pius Akutah was filed at the Abuja Court of Appeal on eleven grounds
challenging the judgment of the CCT.
The government is seeking an order setting aside the CCT
judgment of June 14 that upheld the no case submission filed by Saraki at the
close of the prosecution’s case.
The FG also prayed the Court of Appeal for an
order calling upon Saraki to enter his defense
Recall that last week Wednesday;
the CCT had cleared Saraki of all the 18 count charges leveled against him by
the government.
In the notice of appeal which was filed yesterday, the
government said the judgment was unconstitutional, without jurisdiction,
unwarranted, unreasonable and against the weight of evidence.
