The statement repeated a claim he made at the tribunal earlier Tuesday that trial did not follow due process. “This belief stems from the fact that Section 3 (d) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act provides tha...

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, said this in a statement yesterday. Shehu said Buhari had taken note of the assurance by the government of Saudi Arabia that Thursday’s catastrophe would be investigated.

He added that Buhari commiserated with the Nigeri...
