After hearing arguments by Senator Saraki’s counsel, Mr Adebayo Adelodun (SAN), Justice Morrie Adumein ruled that the court does not interfere in the proceeding of a lower court when the other parties have not been heard.
The motion on notice has been adjourned to Tuesday, September 29, 2015 for proof of service and hearing.
However, Saraki has announced his resolve to appear before the tribunal tomorrow, September 21.
