Video: CCT Chairman threatens Saraki’s lawyer with contempt

Bukola and Saraki Danladi Umar

There was mild drama at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on Thursday, as the CCT Chairman, Danladi Umar, refused to hear the motion filed by counsel of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on his (Umar) alleged bias.

After Oluyede demanded to be heard, Umar, upset by the revelations, called for police officers to throw out the counsel to the Senate President, threatening him with contempt of court.

This is an amateur video of the event captured by a citizen reporter.
