Senate Sacks Umar As CCT Chair Due To Alleged Misconduct
On Wednesday, the Senate invoked section 157 (1), officially removing Yakubu Umar as the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
He was dismissed over allegations of misconduct.
Umar’s removal gives way to the official resumption of Abdullahi Bello as the new substantive Chairman of the Tribunal.
A total of 84 Senators which constitute the two-thirds majority of the Senate, signed in favour of his removal, resolving to forward the resolution to President Bola Tinubu for further action.
