The Senate has removed the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Danladi Umar, over alleged gross misconduct.
This decision was made pursuant to Section 157(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999, as amended), which empowers the Senate to remove key public officials following due process.
The sacking followed a closed-door session lasting over one and a half hours.
Upon resumption of plenary, the Senate announced that more than 84 lawmakers supported the decision.
