More trouble for CCT Chairman, Umar as NBA moves to probe alleged assault on Security Guard

The Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, has vowed to probe the alleged assault of a security guard by the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Danladi Umar.

The association condemned the the action of the CCT boss adding that its preliminary investigation suggests that Umar failed to uphold good conduct expected of a public officer occupying such high office as CCT Chairman.

This was contained in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Rapulu Nduka, on Thursday.

The legal body said a committee of the association would be tasked to investigate the circumstances leading to the altercation.

It added that the body would also ensure that appropriate action is taken to address the occurrence depending on the outcome of the investigation.

The statement read; “The attention of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has been drawn to the video making the rounds where the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) – Danladi Yakubu Umar Esq., was seen, together with his security detail, allegedly assaulting a citizen at Banex Plaza, in Wuse Abuja.

It added: “Prima facie evidence available at the moment raise questions regarding whether such standards have been met.

“In view of the foregoing, the NBA shall through its relevant Committee, investigate the circumstances leading to the altercation, and depending on its findings, will ensure that appropriate action is taken to address this occurrence.”
