The New Nigeria Group, a Civil Society Organisation has called on the
federal government to sack the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT)
chairman, Danladi Yakubu Umar over allegations of corruption levelled
against him while maintaining that a ”wounded personality cannot be fair
in rulings.”

Also, the group has alleged that senior colleagues of the CCT chairman,
such as a former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mariam Aloma Mukhtar, and
former minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke had demanding the
removal of the chairman citing several allegations against him and the
huge embarrassment he had caused the profession which had made the
tribunal unable to sit.

The group made this known in a press briefing by Dr Kachi Ononuju,
insisting that for corruption to be fought to a standstill in the era of
change, a restructuring of the judiciary is required as the present
chairman is challenged and the tribunal used as a window to defraud the
country.

“After making a statement to the EFCC during the investigation of this
bribery scam, chairman of the CCT applied for and was granted bail. Is
this the kind of person to head the CCT which is established to ensure
the highest ethical standards of propriety and public morality in the
public service of the federation and states?

“It is our considered view that the chairman of the CCT has a strong
prima facie case of misconduct and breach of the Code of Conduct
hanging over his neck and cannot continue to pretend that all is well
when in essence, he is desecrating the system. The National Assembly is
called upon to initiate the process of his removal whilst the president
should suspend him from office pending when the legislative process is
concluded.

“The CCT judge should be removed as he lacks the will to fight
corruption. CCT should be an autonomous body and not under the
control of politicians. It should not be an appendage of political office
holders.”
