Court orders CCT Chairman, Umar, to appear before Senate to answer to misconduct allegations

A Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday dismissed a suit by the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Danladi Yakubu Umar, seeking to stop the Senate from probing him on alleged misconduct.

The Court held that as a public officer administering law, he is answerable to the Senate on moral standards.

Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo, in a judgment in the suit, ordered the CCT boss to go and appear before the Senate and answer questions on a public petition brought against him by an aggrieved citizen.

The Judge held that his case seeking to stop the probe by the Senate lacked merit and was dismissed.

Recall that Justice Umar has sometime ago thrown decency to the winds when he physically engaged private security men at Banex Plaza, after he had refused a polite appeal from them to properly park his vehicle.

He was later reportedly called the security men in derogatory words “the Biafra Boys” through a statement issued on the matter by the Public Relations Officer of the CCT.
