Justice may be on the horizon for Mr Clement Sagwak, the man assaulted in Abuja by the Chairman of the CCT, Mr Danladi Umar. The Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions has given Umar two weeks to defend a petition against him.
Recall that members of the Pyrates Confraternity had on Tuesday April 6 protested in front of the CCT office building in Abuja demanding the removal of Danladi Umar who allegedly assaulted Sagwak.
In a press statement signed by the NAS Capoon, Mr Abiola Owoaje, he said “Mr Umar has clearly demonstrated an inability to uphold the high standards, in personal and public conduct, expected of judicial officers, which his office by the requirement of the law demand of others.” The summons by the Senate, reported in the Vanguard publication of 4th May 2021, is a step in the right direction and we will be monitoring the situation to ensure justice is done.
