This is an exercise in futility. They are trying to fight the calm, wise, young and handsome judge.

This is one thing I really like about well educated Northerners, they are usually very calm and exude confidence & wisdom.

They tried same nonsense with Jega and he took them to the cleaners.

Someone should pls remind this Ozeokome that the era of getting ambiguous and silly injunctions is over. Many thanks to the current CJN.

The court will attend to the case properly and the CCT chairman will send a legal representative, while he continues his work diligently.

Someone should also pls ask this Ozeokome (fake SAN) what happened to all the frivolous suits he filed in a feigned support for the PDP during GEJ's pathetic era??

Did he emerge successful in say just one of them?!!

Unserious hungry lawyer.

A group, Registered Trustees of Mission for Peace and Development Initiative has dragged the chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Mr. Danladi Umar, before a federal high court in Abuja, asking it to sack Umar over allegations of money laundering and bribery.

In the suit, the plaintiff also accused the tribunal chairman of money laundering, bribery and other vices.

The group, through its lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, also joined the Code of Conduct Tribunal, EFCC and Attorney General of the Federation as 2nd to 4th defendants.

In its originating summons brought pursuant to Orders 3 Rule 6 and 7 of the Federal High Court Civil Procedure Rules (2009), the plaintiff is asking the court whether, upon a careful and combined construction of Rules 1, 5 (1) & (11), Rules 3, F, L, of the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers, Part 1, Paragraph 7 (B) Paragraph 9, 13, Part 11 & Paragraph 12 of the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as Altered, Sections 5, 10 (1), 13, 17 & 22 (3) of The Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, the 1st Defendant is a fit and proper person to sit in judgment over Nigerians and preside over the affairs of the Code of Conduct Tribunal and dispense justice to all manner of people who appear before it, without fear or favour, malice or ill will, having been investigated by the 3rd Defendant (EFCC) and adjudged to have run foul of the provisions of the code of conduct for judicial officers and other extant provisions.

The plaintiff also wants the court to determine whether the 1st Defendant is a fit and proper person and is estopped from sitting in judgment over Nigerians and presiding over the affairs of the Code of Conduct Tribunal and dispense justice to all manner of people who appear before it, without fear or favour, malice or ill will, having run foul of the provisions of the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers, by secretly meeting with an accused person standing trial before him ex parte, without the presence of the prosecution and court officials.

In addition, the plaintiff wants the court to answer whether by virtue of the combined provisions of Section 6 (b) & (h) and Section 7 (1) (a) and (b) & (2) of the EFCC Act, Cap., E1, LFN, 2004, the EFCC is not under a statutory duty to prosecute the 1st Defendant having investigated him (1st Defendant), and found him culpable of the offences of conspiracy, bribery, abuse of office and money laundering, charges that drawn up by the EFCC (3rd Defendant herein), but never activated nor filed till date for inexplicable reasons.

The plaintiff is however praying the court for a declaration that by the combined effect of the provisions of Rules 1, 5 (1) & (11), Rules 3, F, L, of the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers, Fifth Schedule Part 1, Paragraph 7 (B) Paragraph 9, 13, Part 11 & Paragraph 12 of the Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as altered, Sections 5, 10 (1), 13, 17 & 22 (3) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, 1st Defendant is not fit and proper person to sit in judgment and preside over the affairs of the Code of Conduct Tribunal and dispense justice to all Nigerians who appear before it, irrespective of gender, tribe, religion, or political persuasion, without fear or favour, malice or ill will, having run foul of the provisions of the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers, and other extant provisions.

The plaintiff wants a declaration that in the light of falling foul of the above statutes, the 1st Defendant is not a fit and proper person to further sit in judgment over others, preside over the affairs of the Code of Conduct Tribunal and dispense justice to Nigerians.

No date has been fixed for the case.

All this useless (hungry lawyers) groups always popping up at suspicious times.



They should go and sit down. We saw a lot of them during GEJ's last days in office.

iretiland:
I pity this Mike Ozekhome and his lack of integrity. How has the Nigerian Bar falling so bad that criminals are the set of people holding the titles cherished by the Fatai Williams of blessed memory ? How can Ozekhome, Oby Wali, and their likes be called Senior Advocates -these and others in their camp are criminals.

The hunter is now the hunted. Hahahahaha.
Good morning Nigeria.
