Court Remands Ex-CCT Chairman, Danladi Umar In Kuje Prison
The Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, has ordered the remand of the former Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Danladi Umar, in the Kuje Correctional Centre.
NEWSNGR reports that the decision was taken on Thursday when the court heard the alleged corruption charges against Umar.
Recall that in 2024, the Senate sacked Danladi Umar as the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
The sack of Umar follows the closed-door session of the lawmakers in which the lawmakers approved the removal of the embattled CCT Chairman.
The Senate announced that more than 84 lawmakers supported the decision to remove Umar from office.
The Senate invoked section 157(1) of the 1999 constitution which stipulates that 2/3 of the membership of the Senate can remove the head of any statutory body alleged to have indulged in gross misconduct and misdemeanour in office.
The lawmakers had earlier moved into an executive session to discuss the allegations against Umar following a motion moved in the Order Paper by the Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele.
It was titled, “Invocation of the provision of Section 157 (1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended for the removal of the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal.”
The Senator observed that the CCT boss had fallen short of the requisite standard of a public officer to conduct the affairs of such a Tribunal.
He said the lawmakers have received a series of petitions, complaints and allegations of corruption and misconduct against the chairman.
