Senate President Bukola Saraki and Godsday Orubebe, former minister of Niger Delta affairs, are both at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) at present.
Orubebe arrived a few minutes before the senate president, who sauntered into the courtroom at 10:03am.
Both personalities are facing charges at the CCT for alleged false declaration of assets.
While Saraki is facing a 13-count charge of false declaration of assets, Orubebe is facing a one-count charge of the same alleged offence.
