submitted that the tribunal erred in law and also acted without
jurisdiction with the aid of assuming jurisdiction over the criminal
trial of the appellant on the Code of Conduct Tribunal for an
offense which is being challenged on the Federal High court.
Not

for the Code of Conduct Bureau to show up before it on Monday to
explain why it ought to go on along with his trial over false and
incorrect declaration of belongings allegedly acquired all through
his tenure as governor of Kwara state from 2003 to 2011, the Code of
