A group believed to be agents working for Bukola Saraki, and known as Registered Trustees of Mission for Peace and Development Initiative, has dragged the chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Justice Danladi Umar, before a federal high court in Abuja, asking it to sack the Judge in charge of Saraki's allged false asset declaration case.

In the suit, the plaintiff accused the tribunal chairman of money laundering, bribery and other vices.

Do you know who the group's lawyer is? The same man who took Muhammadu Buhari to court...
The group, through its lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, also joined the Code of Conduct Tribunal, EFCC and Attorney General of the Federation as 2nd to 4th defendants.

In its originating summons brought pursuant to Orders 3 Rule 6 and 7 of the Federal High Court Civil Procedure Rules (2009), the plaintiff is asking the court whether, upon a careful and combined construction of some Rules of the CCB and CCT Act, the 1st Defendant (Danladi) is a fit and proper person to sit in judgment over Nigerians and preside over the affairs of the Tribunal and dispense justice to all manner of people (the special focus is Saraki) who appear before it.

The plaintiff wants a declaration that the 1st Defendant (Justice Danladi) is not a fit and proper person to further sit in judgment over others, preside over the affairs of the CCT and dispense justice.

No date has been fixed for the case.
