Alleged Assault: CCT Chairman, Danladi Umar Fails In Bid To Stop Senate Probe
A Federal High Court in Abuja says the Nigerian Senate has the power to investigate Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Danladi Umar of alleged act of assault on a security guard at a shopping mall in Abuja.
Delivering Judgement on Tuesday, Justice Inyang Ekwo, said the CCT boss failed to display high moral public standards by his conduct and with the Code of Conduct Bureau being a product of an Act ratified by the National Assembly, it therefore has powers to investigate his conduct.
The court subsequently dismissed the suit by Mister Umar seeking to stop his investigation by the Senate Committee Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, for lacking in merit.
