The Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Justice Danladi Umar while speaking over his altercation with security guards at Banex Plaza, Abuja said that the mob that attacked was “chanting secessionist and sectional slogan.”

Umar told PRNigeria that the assault has left him traumatised and disappointed.



A viral video on social media had showed that Umar ordered his security details to attack a security guard after a brawl over a breach of parking space.

The CCT chairman was also caught on in the video hitting the security man who had told him his vehicle was parked in the wrong space.

In his defence, Ibraheem Al-Hassan, CCT spokesperson, said the guard was rude and that some “Biafran boys” also harassed his boss.
