Conduct tribunal chair may face fresh EFCC probe

Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) Chairman Justice Danladi Umar may face a fresh probe by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over some allegations, The Nation learnt yesterday.

The CCT acquitted Senate President Bukola Saraki of a false assets declaration charge on Wednesday.

The allegations against Umar include a N10million bribe said to have been collected by him by his Personal Assistant, Ali Gambo Abdullahi.

The discovery of fresh clues on Umar’s conduct is said to have sparked the planned probe.
