The Saraki trial started with a hitch as Bukola the Senate leader was not willing to be docked and drama ensued. the police Chief to the FCT even banned cameras and suddenly national broadcasters NTA and TVC the APC owned station by Ahmed Tinubu were rolling cameras. Channels, AIT and others barred. Anyway. below are my tweets of all the action at this Code of Conduct tribunal. The trial has been adjourned to October 21st 2015. More to come @HNNAfrica on Twitter.
