Senate calls off summon issued to CCT Chairman, Danladi Umar

The Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions has called off the summon issued to the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal CCT, Danladi Umar. The committee on Monday April 18th, summoned Danladi to appear before them on Thursday April 21st, to answer questions of corruption leveled against him by an anti-corruption group, Anti Corruption Netwrk led by Senator Dino Melaye.


The committee withdrew the summon after a meeting at the National Assembly today April 20th.

Many believe that the summon was to distract Danladi from the ongoing daily trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki who is being accused of false declaration of assets while he was governor of Kwara state.
