Justice Abdul Kafarati of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja yesterday withdrew from a suit seeking to stop the ongoing trial of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT). 

His withdrawal was hinged on the allegation that N2 billion bribe was traced to his bank account.
The matter, which was earlier fixed for judgement, could not go ahead as the trial judge said he was left with no option than to hands off the matter after his attention was drawn to two online publications alleging that he has been compromised by the Senate President. Justice Kafarati, however, lamented that his integrity was gravely maligned in two separate reports carried by Sahara Reporters and Naij.com, which, he said, claimed that the N2 billion was traced to his account by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
