Published by Sahara Reporters on Wed, 31 Mar 2021


Danladi UmarA human rights activist and convener of Concerned Nigerians Group, Deji Adeyanju has called on the Nigeria Police to arrest the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Danladi Umar for assaulting a security guard in Abuja.Adeyanju made the call through a press release made available to SaharaReporters on Wednesday.Danladi UmarSaharaReporters had earlier reported that the CCT boss, Umar, and his driver brutalised a security guard at Banex plaza at Wuse 2 in Abuja on Monday.Umar was seen in a viral video assaulting the security man. Many of the eyewitnesses condemned the assault and called for justice.Reacting to this, Adeyanju in the statement said, 'The attention of Concerned Nigerians for the protection of Human Rights and Rule of Law Initiative has been drawn to a press statement by the Code of Conduct Tribunal Chairman, Danladi Umar, denying the assault he unleashed on an innocent Nigerian carrying out his duty at the Banex Plaza, Wuse 2 Abuja.'We are surprised that the CCT chairman will blatantly deny a viral video that was captured by many witnesses. The violent attack on the private security guard is distasteful and should be condemned by all and sundry.'

On this basis, Danladi Umar needs to face the full wrath of the law and bear the consequences of his action.'The police need to demonstrate that the Nigerian constitution is no respecter of any person or group of persons.'
