Justice Danladi is the presiding judge over Saraki's fraud trial at the CCT. Yesterday, he ruled that the trial would run on a daily basis.
In a letter signed yesterday by the Clerk of the Committee, Freedom Odolo,the Senate asked Justice Umar to appear unfailingly by 2pm on Thursday.
But Justice Umar replied the committee that he has a court sitting on Thursday and throughout the week.
He said he would not be available until after the court sittings, which is on Saraki’s trial.
“The battle line is drawn between the Senate and the CCT chairman. Some Senators are angry over his decision to allow the tribunal to sit from 9am to 6pm," someone familiar with the matter said.
“They saw the CCT Chairman’s decision as a plot to deny Saraki any opportunity to preside over the Senate plenary throughout his trial.
“Now, these Senators have also launched a counter-attack against the CCT chairman by revisiting the outstanding petition against the judge. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Senate again!!! I do not want to believe that this story is true, but if it is, then our Senators are insane.
ReplyDeleteYou must go. Honor the invitation you have a case to answer. He who seek equity must do equity.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have Senate in Nigeria
ReplyDeletehow can someone with corruption allegation hanging over his head be presiding over a case of corruption against another?. This judge is being blackmailed to nail Saraki at all cost else his own case would be re-opened!. Is this the way to fight corruption?. Am of the opinion, sadly so, that the fight is TRULY selective. DANDADI UMAR should step aside for another judge to convict SARAKI! . He should also be made to face trail too!!!
