Danladi, Don't Listen To These Jokers: False Asset Declaration - Withdraw From Ongoing Trial Of Saraki

CCT Justics Umar Danladi

You wonder why Nigeria got into this mess in the first place. It's because of these people. They all set bad precedents when they were in court. They misinterpreted the law and the constitution. They decided cases in favor of the highest bidders and set criminals free at will. Now, they still want to continue to influence the system, even when they are no longer Justices.

Some leading legal luminaries including former justices of the Supreme Court have advised Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, Mr. Danladi Umar, to withdraw from presiding the ongoing trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki over alleged false assets declaration to ensure fairness in the matter.

Saraki's  legal giants, who picked holes in the Supreme Court judgement of February 5, 2016 giving the CCT jurisdiction in the Saraki trial, argued that the CCT is not a court of law under our Constitution and cannot be invested with criminal or quasi-criminal jurisdiction.
