Court Orders CCT Chairman, Umar To Appear Before Senate, Says Probe Lacked Merit

Court orders Code of Conduct Tribunal chairman Danladi Umar, to appear before the Senate for Probe 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.
