Saraki is being tried by the tribunal after being accused of asset declaration fraud by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
The Appeal Court had been expected to rule on the matter on October 19 but on that date, it announced that the case had been adjourned indefinitely.
This led to a subsequent postponement of Saraki’s CCT trial from October 21 to November 5.
