Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Danladi Umar failed to appear before the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions on Tuesday. To the amazement of the lawmakers, Umar’s counsel, Barrister Toluwa Odekhe presented two originating summons to inform the Committee that the alleged assault on Clement Sagwak in March was already before the Court. Speaking before the Committee last April, the CCT Chairman had pleaded for time to study the petition and prepare his defence. Opeyemi who incidentally is Chairman Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters said the embattled CCT Chairman acted in bad faith. “Tell your client to as ruled by this Committee Chairman, to appear before the Committee unfailingly in two weeks time.”YOU SHOULD NOT MISS THESE HEADLINES FROM NIGERIAN TRIBUNEBuhari Urges MTN For Quality Service, Downward Price Review In Cost Of Data, Other ServicesPresident Muhammadu Buhari Friday at State House Abuja urged the MTN Group to make the available top-of-the-range service to its Nigerian subscribers… Alleged assault : CCT Chairman shuns Senate ; Alleged assault : CCT Chairman shuns Senate ; Alleged assault : CCT Chairman shuns Senate ; Alleged assault : CCT Chairman shuns Senate.
