Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Mr. Danladi Umar on Tuesday declared that Senate President Bukola Saraki was afraid of his (Umar's) final ruling on the ongoing trial of the Senate President at the CCT.

Umar, to the consternation of the tribunal accused Saraki’s lawyers of “employing delay tactics" because they are "afraid of the final consequences" of his ruling on their case.

The statement startled the entire tribunal and made the lead counsel to Saraki, Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN) to jump up and ask Umar: "My Lord, what is the final consequence?".

Agabi then added that the statement by Umar betrays the prejudice that his client has been afraid of. "My lord, it is this kind of statement that make us afraid of prejudice. We are saying we are afraid. We are not afraid of you. We are afraid of prejudice. This statement of 'final consequence' is rather strengthening that fear", he said.

Umar's declaration left observers in court wondering if the case had already been decided and the judgment written.

It would be recalled that Umar revealed recently that he was pressured to give judgment in a similar case involving former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu.

Saraki’s trial resumed on Tuesday at the CCT after weeks of adjournments.

super story is better.

Saraki must go!

Can't wait to see him booted out of the Senate. I will personally attend the after party at bourdillon Ikoyi

So you have a predetermined judgment in waiting

Danladi Umar should be pressured to step-down and another take his place.

His utterances so far will only confirms the belief in some quarters that he's doing the bidding of anti-Saraki gang.

He's a disgrace to the legal profession.

Justice Umar is galloping from one blunder to another

But how would a judge say such. Its like even if u r not guilty, I will judge u otherwise

Pls help me tell SIGNALNG. COM and their BREAKINGTIME counterpart, that it was not Umar Danladi that deliver the judgement on TINUBU the opolo eye master but AGABI the lead counsel for sarathief. Pooor Pooor journalism for lazy fellas to jump at

SARAKI, THE FACE OF CORRUPTION

The judge can't make that crude unintelligent unprofessional statement in the public

Deliver the judgement. Why scaring the young man. After the whole drama, we will hear another story.

Infact, this judge should be sued. How can a judge that has credibility say something like this before the judgment. Very very wrong. When hunter is behaving like a bushmeat.
