A Federal High Court, FHC, Abuja, on Tuesday, adjourned two separate suits filed by former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC and others.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a short ruling, said the adjournment was to await the report of the Court of Appeal on application for stay of proceedings filed by the ex-lawmaker.
Upon resumed hearing, Saraki’s lawyer, Tunde Afe-Babalola, SAN, informed that he had a pending application for stay of proceedings filed on July 30, 2021..
He said all the parties had been served and that they were ready to proceed.
The judge then asked whether the motion for relisting had been taken.
“Yes, we filed a stay at the Court of Appeal,” he responded.
But the EFCC’s counsel, Christopher Mshelia, who said he was not sure if the commission had been served, said he was not ready for today’s hearing.
Ekenma Okafor, who appeared for Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, said his client had not been served.
“I remember on one of the sittings, the counsel appearing for the applicant had given the court his word that he is withdrawing their appeal.
