Eighty lawyers, including six Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN), announced their appearance for Senate President Bukola Saraki at the Code Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on Friday.

On March 11, 66 lawyers had announced their appearance for the senate president.

But on Friday, Kanu Agabi, Saraki’s lead counsel, reeled off 80 names.
