Nigerians On Twitter React To Danladi Umar's Outburst

The mild drama that ensued today at the court during the Code of Conduct Tribunal where its Chairman, Danladi Umar erupted violently during a motion raised by one of Senator Saraki's lawyer Raphael Oloyede reminding him of an existing motion filed on Wednesday, April 20th, 2016, seeking the CCT boss to disqualify himself from participating in the trial based on bias.

Danladi Umar reacted angrily to the lawyers request and threatened to charge him for contempt before sending him out of the court room.

Interestingly, the video of Umar flaring up angrily has circulated through different online mediums and the majority of the Nigerian community on Twitter has condemned his attitude as a presiding judge losing his temper easily when it is obvious that his job entails that he'd be met with stiffer provocations as provided for both the defense and prosecution team.

A twitter user, @Adekunle025, described Umar's attitude as unprofessional of presiding judge and chairman of a Tribunal for that matter.

Another twitter handle, @ said: Danladi Umar yelled at a fellow lawyer and shouted "Shut Up". This clearly shows that he's biased and doesn't want to entertain arguments.

In retrospect, most users have accused the CCT Chairman, Danladi Umar of displaying an attitude inimical to the ethics establishing the tribunal and setting a dangerous trend to the justice system.

Umar is sponsored so is the trail!

With the way they r going about it, even If saraki is guilty, May he walk freely because injustice shld not be found in a supposed justice Environ

If they born you well, go to any court in the world and speak when a judge has not even asked you to speak, you will know the difference between lawyer and judge.

Imagine, the judge is even saying sit down sit down sit down, and you think he is your mate so you can carry on talking and abusing him, saying he is corrupt, he is biased....hmmmm

I swear, Saraki will lose that case in the CCT, Appeal Court and Supreme Court for his severe abuse of the courts and the judiciary.

For now, majority of Nigerians want Saraki nailed. Most of that majority do not care how that is achieved, by nook or by crook if all legal means fail. That judge should know better than to flare up because of a motion being filed by the defendant who believes he's being denied the right to a fair trial. If the prosecutors are sure of their case, would they be bothered by the judge who tries the case? It just seems like the case is a play on stage where all actors had already been fitted in such that the loss of one ruins the play.

I think that's being silly, fighting corruption with corruption. The end result is a wiser corrupt person standing tall.

Dare to be rude to any judge anywhere else on planet earth and you will see the consequence.

Umar is even too nice.

Danladi is even a nice judge that sarakis lawyer should be jailed for disrupting court proceedings,that amounts to contempt of court.

Hmmmm... Thank God Nigerian didn't witness another Ekiti scenario under Fayose: na today that Judge for know say he can run pass Usain Bolt.
