The Code of Conduct Bureau on Friday alleged that the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, moved funds belonging to Kwara State into his personal account while he was governor of the state.
The allegation is contained in a counter affidavit deposed to by the bureau in response to a fresh application Mr. Saraki filed challenging the jurisdiction of the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
The tribunal is trying him for alleged false asset declaration and corruption while in office as governor between 2003 and 2011.
He was arraigned last September on a 13-count charge but he denied them all, saying he was being persecuted.
When the matter came up for hearing on March 18, Kanu Agabi, SAN, the new counsel to the senate president contested afresh the jurisdiction of the tribunal.
