The Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, has reopened the case of assault levelled against the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau, Danladi Umar.
The CCT Chairman had in a viral video in 2021, allegedly assaulted one Clement Sargwak at the Bannex Plaza in Wuse 2, area of Abuja Federal Capital Territory.
The Chairman of the Senate panel, Senator Ayo Akinyelure, who addressed journalists on the matter on Wednesday, said the case against Umar had been reopened. “The Senate suspended the hearing on the matter till the outcome of the judgement. The High Court has now ruled the Senate has the right to continue the case. The Senate decided to reopen the case because it was a declarative judgment. He was to appear before us today but instead came with court papers claiming that he had appealed the judgment.”
