Saraki Faults EFCC On Clearance Of CCT Chairman by TheFreeOne: 6:40pm On Apr 24, 2016 |
•Says clearance cannot override AGF’s recommendation for Umar’s removal, prosecution By Tobi Soniyi Dr Bukola Saraki, has dismissed the purported clearanceof the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Danladi Umar, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in relation to his alleged involvement in a N10 million corruption case. Saraki contended that there was no time the EFCC cleared Umar, and that even where such clearance existed, it was a confirmation of his (Saraki’s) position that the CCT under Umar could not ensure fairness in his trial. Saraki, who spoke in Abuja through his lawyer, Ajibola Oluyede, argued that the clearance purportedly issued Umar by EFCC could not override the recommendation made in 2014 by the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) for Umar’s prosecution. Oluyede said it was only the AGF that possesses the power, under the law, to reverse a decision to prosecute, arguing that his client’s application urging Umar to disqualify himself from the trial was still at the tribunal. He faulted reports that the application had been thrown out by the tribunal, noting that since the prosecution was yet to respond to it, and it had not been heard, the tribunal could not have decided. He also faulted reports that he was thrown out of the tribunal’s sitting venue. He said that he was at the proceeding until it was adjourned. He said that he would argue the application before the tribunal once it was ripe for hearing. “We are not saying he (Umar) is guilty. We are saying he is tainted and that he cannot act independently while the EFCC that is investigating him and had indicted him is now prosecuting our client before him. That is why we asked him to recuse himself from the trial. “He did so before in the case involving former FCT Minister, Jeremiah Useni, where he excused himself from the hearing on the ground that he had close relationship with Useni. We are asking him to do so again now because of the facts that we have presented,” Oluyede said. Referring to some additional documents he filed before the tribunal, Oluyede noted that upon the EFCC report of June 24, 2014, the then AGF directed then EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Lamorde to prosecute Umar and his aide, Ali Gambo for accepting bribe from an accused person, Rasheed Taiwo http://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/04/24/saraki-faults-efcc-on-clearance-of-cct-chairman/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter 5 Likes |

Bad news I thought PDP play dirty politics until APC came on board to show how dirtier politics can be played. Am sure PDP guys are feeling like leaners now. Saraki needs to get used to the fact that he is going down. The powers ganged up against him are too formidable for him to contend with. On the flip side I just pity this Danladi of a guy. He is still a learner in Nigeria politics. After he is done playing out the script given to him. Either of two things will happen. His masters will see him as a potential problem. They will bring him down, if he escapes them those presently hurt by his actions will come for him some day no matter the time it takes. He acts like he is brave and daring but I think he is a mere chicken. Am just a spectator enjoying the intriguing drama 10 Likes 2 Shares |

TheFreeOne: Mr Saraki, u have stolen over 5 billion naira as a public officer, now u are pointing your finger at someone who is accused of stealing 10 million naira..... I'm not saying Umar should be left alone, but why not just be bold and defend your almost 5billion naira theft boldly and come for Umar later, or ask others to come for Umar while u stand to defend your own. Like it or leave it, you should stand to defend yourself . You should! You Must! Its okay, if anyone says Fashola and Amechi are also thieves, agreed! But if someone like Saraki who has all the power can't dig and bring out details for us to try Fashola and Amechi, is it common me that will be able to fetch the documents, when I can barely get access to a local government to get my own papers like land survey. If Saraki will help us fetch details to nail others, good for everybody! But while he does that or he is doing that, let him defend himself openly, anything anything! Saraki must defend himself....he must! Already, Mr. Saraki should hand over fully all affairs of the senate, m not even saying resign, so wen he is found innocent and can resume back....but now, handover and go defend yourself. 44 Likes 4 Shares |

[size=18pt]So Saraki is campaigning for fairness and due process. He should consider resigning as Senate President as his election lacked both fairness and due process, maybe after that he may be taken more seriously.[/size] www.nairaland.com/attachments/3316777_saraki_jpegec9dcce082f2412c7e6b80b1969d667f 11 Likes |

Ebukaobi: Saraki is an eediot. He has never denied stealing. His claims : 1. Everybody is a thief. 2. Tinubu stole and was released. 3. They did not come to my office to tell me I stole. 4 This prosecution for stealing is witch hunt. Only Nigeria will a thief say the judge is a thief or his school mate and must be changed.

Saraki CCT trial: A CASE OF POT CALLING KETTLE BLACK pls I want to make everyone know that I am not in support of corruption neither am I against the fight against corruption. it is said that whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. But I want to make my thought known on this saraki case. my focus here is on the man acting as the chairman of the CCT. He has corruption case hanging on his neck and was even arrested and later granted administrative bail. A man who is on bail is trying another on corruption charges. And he ( CCT chairman Justice Umar) will be facing the senate soon to answer questions on his alleged corruption charges and the hearing will be headed by Saraki himself... Your guess on the outcome of the hearing is as good as mine (lols). My points are; - it shows that the Nigeria system is fighting against itself. - In a sane society, with the level of accusation on Saraki and Justice Umar ( both have corruption charges hanging on their necks) they should have RESIGNED. ( yea! I wrote d resign with upper case to s how how important it is). Nigeria is a joke.... pls fuel attendant give me five litres.. LOLS 4 Likes |
