The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed a two-count charge of bribery against Justice Danladi Umar, Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT). The case was filed on 25 January before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory on 25 January.

In the first count, according to the court papers seen by SaharaReporters, Justice Umar was alleged to have demanded a bribe of N10million from one Mr. Rasheed Owolabi Taiwo in 2012.

The alleged demand was made in relation to a case (CCT/ABJ/03/12) involving Mr. Taiwo, an offence is contrary to Section 12(1) (a) and (b) of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2003.

In the second count, it was alleged that Justice Umar, through his Personal Assistant, Mr. Gambo Abdullahi, of N1.8million from Mr. Taiwo, an offence that contravenes Section 12(1) (a) and (b) of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2003.

Allegations of bribery first surfaced against Umar when he took on the trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki over assets declaration fraud in 2015. Umar later "discharged and acquited" Saraki after he reportedly received $2million as bribe from Saraki in a deal brokered at the home of the former governor of Bauchi state, Malam Isa Yuguda.

Sources told Saharareporters that Mr. Umar's personal assistant who received the bribe for him in the case for which he was charged today has agreed to testify truthfully about the bribery transaction involving a former Customs officer accused of assets declaration fraud.

Mr. Umar reportedly issued a hearing notice to recommence Saraki's trial starting from Tuesday in accordance with a Court of Appeal judgement asking his retrial on three counts.

Buhari is obviously in a panic mode after seeing the mammoth crowd at PDP campaign rally in Kaduna and how the south east rejected him and his occultic APC.

Buhari 4 years reign as president will be brought to a disgraceful end soon , by the grace of god .

too sad. as Danladi has joined APC, he is now a saint.


if it is a CJN from the north that a president from the south suspend like this, hausa/fulani would have been killing southerners by now. All that my southern brothers could now is to rant online. the language buhari understand is violence

Hahaha

Buhari the desperado

Breeze don blow, Fowl Nash don open

Not proven guilty!! Till then

Hmmmm the country is spiralling down so quickly...

He also had this pending case when he freed Saraki and you people hailed him for standing up to the executive at that time.... So what has changed between then and now?

Infact it was Saraki that raised the issue at that time and he told them that he has been cleared by EFCC.

Political games /movies

So interested to watch

God bless our president, the same judiciary that was silent when the dictator sent his terrorist arm to kill innocent Biafrans. they have not seen anything yet on buhari we stand. ndi ofeke, even the song called south south will want Igbo's to support them as their trusted northern brothers has axed their ass.

Those who brought this Buhari man upon us in 2015 should be held responsible for the mess this country has turned into.
We warned them.

Yet the hypocrite claims to be fighting corruption

We only blame those who join in bringing this tyrant to power. They are the real enemiesof the people

He has bitten more than he can chew this time.

The lifeless one will soon deny himself
