STATEMENT OF THE NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION ON THE ALLEGED CASE OF ASSAULT BY UMAR YAKUBU DANLADI, ESQ.

The attention of the Nigerian Bar Association ("NBA") has been drawn to the video making the rounds where the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (“CCT”) - Danladi Yakubu Umar Esq., was seen, together with his security detail, allegedly assaulting a citizen at Banex Plaza, in Wuse Abuja. We understand that this citizen turned out to be a 22-year-old employee of Jul Reliable Guards Services Limited, posted as a security guard to the Plaza and who is now reportedly hospitalised. The NBA has also read the statement credited to the Head, Press and Public Relations of the CCT in response to the actions of Mr Umar.

The NBA frowns at any display of naked power by a public officer especially one who, by virtue of his high office, is expected to exhibit a high standard of conduct. The situation is all the more critical when it involves the head of an agency of government set up to ensure compliance, by public officers, with the code of conduct.

Further, as a member of the legal profession, Danladi Yakubu Umar Esq. is expected, by the extant rules that regulate the conduct of legal practitioners in Nigeria, to maintain a high standard of professional conduct, and not to engage in any conduct which is unbecoming of a member of the legal profession. Prima facie evidence available at the moment raise questions regarding whether such standards have been met.

In view of the foregoing, the NBA shall through its relevant Committee, investigate the circumstances leading to the altercation, and depending on its findings, will ensure that appropriate action is taken to address this occurrence.

Publicity Secretary,

He would have been suspended by now were Danladi Umar a common lawyer but now they are investigating a gross misconduct obvious to all discerning Nigerians.

Good.

The quota system judge cum tribalist will not go scot free. Haven said this, Buhari is evil.

Are judges still members of the NBA please enlighten me

Justice should be served immediately

Allegedly, even with the video evidence? Nigeria to dogs!

Taaaaa...see Toothless NBA yapping rubbish..
At the end they won't still do anything

well if the Slapping senator can go Scot free with all the video evidence what do you expect....


Na only Nigeria I see say Video evidence is not enough to prove a case if I lie ask Ganduje and the Slapping senator from Adamawa...

NBAs inability to stand up to Buhari when he cooked the books to fire Onoghen and replace him with one hunter-looking shariah judge is part of the reason why Buhari and those working with him feel emboldened to act as they like, at will.. if it was Jonathan that did so, hell would have been let loose. The NBAs actions and inactions are all contributing to the high level of dictatorship being witnessed under Buhari.

Danladi Yakubu Umar, the chairman of the Code of MISCONDUCT Tribunal being a legal practitioner should be made to face the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee and if found culpable must be prosecuted, In addition to criminal charge for assault and conduct likely to breach public peace so as to serve as deterrents to all public office holders.

Damnnn niggarrrr
Isoright

Investigate Even with video evidence of the attack what am saying, our intimacy gadget Senator was found not guilty

ok

Africa's and misuse of power

Nothing go still happen
Only hopeless people still believe in Nigeria
The leaders in every society is a reflection of the people of that society.
Citizens of Nigeria deserve those that rule them

Sue his silly ass...

As if anything will be done. Abi no be buhari regime again

Danladi Umar has once more reminded all Igbos that we are all Biafrans. If u like be an Igbo born in d North, or living in d west, and u keep seeing boys in Onitsha and Aba clamouring for Biafra as touts, wen the time reach, people like Danladi and Buhari will still treat u like the Biafran man u re

if Buhari had properly handed over to Osinbanjo who himself is a lawyer, the CCB chairman would have been suspended already with different suits coming up against him.

I don't want to sound tribalistic but I don't think a southern politician can stoop so low.

Racoon:
He would have been suspended by now were Danladi Umar a common lawyer but now they are investigating a gross misconduct obvious to all discerning Nigerians.

"...investigate the circumstances leading to the altercation".

Ojoro has already started b4 d investigation. D action of d man is what should be investigated not "the circumstances leading to d altercation".

Please do with immediate alacrity.

The below post from a patriot has said it all on this matter.
Nothing to be added and nothing to be taken away.
In Saner climes, this man won't be in that position anymore by now.

Politicians and people elected into public positions have to be wary of their actions and words out there, just 2 seconds, everywhere fit burst, apart from losing that same position wey dey make dem carry shoulder up!

The below post took the words outta our mouths!

festacman:
This statement is so scandalously unprofessional, unpardonably infantile and profoundly shameful.

If Mr. Danladi Umar read and approved this statement before it was released to the public, one could comfortably question his qualifications as a lawyer, the soundness of his reasoning as a judge, his mentality as NIGERIAN public servant and his maturity as an adult human.

The mere fact that he already sees some Nigerians as non-Nigerians is too dangerous to ingnore for a man who is supposed to be FAIR and JUST in treating cases as Chairman of Code of Conduct Tribunal. I strongly recommend that National Judicial Council (NJC) should review Mr. Danladi's poor professional conduct and take action immediately.

Danladi, u fvck up, just agree to that and accept the consequences, you don't need to bring some tribal/ethnicity bs into this.

We Rise!

I only have one thing to say, its a republic of cows .

let the matters pass.
Even if found guilty , he will escape using ,a barcode code named -----hausa/FULANI.

See him face like vulture

One zombie dey up dey run mouth "with immediate alacrity" ode! Like say no be him darlyn daddy table the buck stops to fire him. . using the relevant provisions provided for by the constitution as amended.

Zombie!

Chairman of conduct will be in court and been charged with misconduct. My country na real cruise.

Tribalistic CCB mumu that sees Biafra Boys everywhere including dream.

Unfortunately the person that took the video is a yoruba guy. Banex plaza is occupied by people of various ethnic stock. I wonder why the idiot singled out Igbos.



Buhari has filled every Govt agency with his tribalistic brothers, that's why they now behave as if they own Nigeria

Hopeless country.

We encourage Danladi Umar and his types to stop hate and tribalism against igbos, not all igbos are IPOB members, not all igbos are PDP members, not all igbos are evil, Thank you!
..... and even if it is otherwise, this should never be coming from a man with such a position.

We Rise gidigba..... on this one!

descarado:
Two faced woman.
Take her serious at your own peril.

She is now two-faced because she called your god causing violence all over the East, killing military men, police men and burning down police stations, stealing their ammunition a made in China Shekau and a mad man?
She is now Two faced cos she told your cownu god to stfu and stop killing innocent igbos all in the name of his fraudulent lifestyle?

Truth is not bitter , just that people like you are bitter to the truth!

Nword22:
Unity beggers can go to hell, We are all IPOB.

Of course, you and everyone in una yard for villa
Not we sane igbos.

Disgrace!

DANLADI USED HIS MOUTH TO CALL NIGERIANS "BIAFRAN BOYS", MEANING THAT HIS OCURT HAS RECOGNIZED BIAFRA
