Merry go round: What Nigerians are saying about CCT chairman, Senate over Saraki’s trial

– Nigerians are asking what moral justice, CCT chairman, Justice Danladi Umar has to try Bukola Saraki for corruption

– Umar has been summoned by the Senate to appear before it over allegations of corruption against him

The chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Justice Danladi Umar may have a few troubles of his own and may likely face the law soon as he has been summoned by the Senate committee on ethics, privileges and public petitions over allegations of corruption against him.

The saying: “He who must come to equity must come with clean hands” may eventually catch up with him.

Umar was indicted of corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for allegedly demanding a N10million bribe from a retired Comptroller of Customs, Rasheed Taiwo.

Kudos to Justice Danladi Umar. His hands may not be clean, but he has taught Saraki that not all judges can be bought #CCTvsSaraki.
