The Senate, on Thursday, approved the commencement of the
investigation of chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal
(CCT), Danladi Umaru, over allegations of corruption.
The decision was sequel to a petition submitted by Senator
Obinna Ogba on behalf of the Anti-Corruption Network, signed
by Ajaso Ajaso.
Immediately the petition was submitted, the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, referred it to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions. When contacted about the details and date of hearing, the chairman of the committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, Senator Sam Anyawu, said he did not know the content of the petition yet. Umar is presiding over the hearing of a 13-count charge of false asset declaration against Saraki while he was the governor of Kwara State. The same group that petitioned the Senate on Umar had submitted a similar petition to the House of Representatives against the CCT chairman.
