Umar while adjourning the ongoing trial on Tuesday said he had “other important things to attend to.”
Earlier, Counsel to the Senate President, Paul Usoro concluded his cross-examination of the first prosecution witness in the ongoing trial, Michael Wetkas.
Wetkas, an operative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, was cross-examined on count 16 of the charge of false declaration of assets against Saraki.
The charge reads in part: “That you Saraki while being senator did receive monthly salary as governor of Kwara state.”
The prosecution witness during the cross-examination admitted that Saraki was not interrogated in relation to the said charges.
Usoro: Did you speak with Kwara state government or officials as regard this allegation.
Wetkas: No, I didn’t speak with them.
Usoro: Throughout the investigation you didn’t speak with the defendant?
Wetkas: Yes, that is correct.
Usoro: So, in respect of this charge you didn’t have any input from him?
Wetkas: No, I did not.
