Senate To Investigate CCT Chairman Assault On Security Guard

The senate has commenced investigation into the alleged assault involving Danladi Umar, chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

Umar was caught on video as he stepped out of his car at Banex Plaza, Wuse 2, Abuja, appearing to hit a security guard who had told him his vehicle was parked in the wrong space.

Consequently, 22-year-old Clement Sagwak, the security guard, petitioned the senate through his senator, Istifanus Gyang, representing Plateau north senatorial district.

Reading the petition before the senate on Tuesday, Gyang said Sagwak was seeking justice for the assault he suffered in the cause of carrying out his duty.

Gyang said the petitioner alleged that the CCT chairman assaulted him, asked him to kneel down and also slapped him.
