A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), sitting in Maitama has remanded the former Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Mr. Danladi Umar, in Kuje prison.
Justice Peter Kekemeke gave the remand order after the Federal Government arraigned the erstwhile CCT boss on a four-count corruption charge.
According to the federal government, its investigations revealed that the defendant abused his official position by conferring an undue advantage on himself while he served as head of the tribunal.
It was alleged that in 2021 he used his wife’s bank account to collect the sum of N5.5 million from a contractor engaged to paint the headquarters of the CCT in Abuja.
