As the trial of the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, continues at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), the Chairman of the CCT has entertained the hearing of the motion to recuse himself filed by one of Saraki’s Counsel’s, Ajibola Oluyede.

Recall that at the Thursday, April 21st sitting of the tribunal, Justice Umar had lost his temper at Oluyede and repeatedly yelled at the Counsel to the Senate President to “Sit Down!” when the counsel attempted to bring up the motion relating to his bribery charges.

Oluyede, discussing the motion in court, cited reasons why Justice Umar should recuse himself, citing that Dan Ladi Umar’s relationship with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), as a suspect in a N10million bribery investigation, made him morally unjustified to sit on the case – because the EFCC was one of the investigating authorities in the case. Oluyede, also brought up Dan Ladi’s application for bail from the EFCC, where he stated that he would make himself available at anytime that the EFCC required him.

Many will also recall that the charges against the Senate President were filed in the days following the Senate’s investigation of the EFCC for diverting recovered public funds. In an investigation report by the EFCC dated 24th June 2014, the CCT boss and his erstwhile Personal Assistant, Gambo Abdullahi, are listed as suspects.

Paragraph 2 of the report, states that “Justice Umar made direct demand for the sum of N10 million to quash the charges against [the complainant], sometime in 2012. He disclosed that he was compelled to pay the sum of N1.8milion after persistent inundation with phone calls from Justice Umar.”

Oluyede also cited paragraph 4 of the report, that stated that “Available circumstantial evidence suggest that the Tribunal Chairman might have indeed demanded and collected money from the complainant through his Personal Assistant”.

A thief trying another thief.

This reminds me of when another thief (Buhari) exonerated another thief (Abacha) from his looting.

Thieves and hypocrites in high places claiming saints.

Thanks for putting source to your thread, the other one had none.

finally, am sure umar has realized that no matter who his masters are, he is very expendable in this evil country.

Saraki should also step down as Senate president

Saraki is already a gunner looking for who to take along. Okay, you can go with Umar Danladi.

I don't understand all this legal bull crap and I don't want to. All I want to see is saraki Out as SP, wearing pampers at kirikiri after he has been disvirgined (not dis flowered cos he ain't gat no flowers down there) via the anal canal

Let me reiterate you signature, If I agree with you, we will both be wrong

Justice Umar should immediately be suspended by the senate while the presidency forwards the name of the next CCT chairman to the senate for confirmation

Vanguard and their type of news

the CCT does not have any powers to send anyone to kirikiri

sorry bro,saraki will remain ur senate president till 2019.unless if pmb resigns then we can beg saraki to resign too.

This is the ideal time for Saraki to resign as SP in the interest of peace.....

Abi GEJ granting presidential pardon to Diepreye Alamieyeseigha

Saraki trial will be televised live. Justice Umar of the CCT has said that the trial will be open to all Nigerians and he will allow live broadcast if an application for such is made.
Umar also banned security agencies with weapons inside the court.
Umar laying down the rules!

Channels TV should broadcast this live to all Nigerians worldwide. It should be a spectacle.

Let them play whatever game they like, saraki will surely go down. Let Umar hands over to another judge, justice will surely be done.

GEJ wasn't a thief. Let's assume he is, So Buhari should be doing the same??... Talk about "change".

Hmmmmm

yeah

The allegation doesn't make much sense “Justice Umar made direct demand for the sum of N10 million to quash the charges against [the complainant], sometime in 2012. He disclosed that he was compelled to pay the sum of N1.8milion after persistent inundation with phone calls from Justice Umar.”

Both parties should be thoroughly investigated instead of speculating.

clowns.



Have you seen Saraki defended himself ?

Go and check all his applications.


He is a confirmed criminal

na wetin dem say make u come do for there be dis...
see mumu lawyer ooo... if needs to prosecute the CCT chairman comes,
No one will thwart EFCC to stop their investigations............................
Hush!!!

I see this trial taking time. Those who expect an immediate trial will be disappointed, and saraki wont resign until it is concluded.
Umar's decision on this application will spell doom, either way it is decided.

your post is very funny.
Saraki will go down first,he will not be the Senate president to confirm the new CCT chairman if Umar has to be replaced.

No matter how you try to delay justice ; You'll definitely get served what you deserve there's no two ways about it .

This Sarak wants to stall his trial by all means

A thief judging the case of a thief, most Nigerians are so corrupt (in Buhari's voice)

war film.. who b actor and boss? make we know as this thing go end. suspense 2much.
