Just In: ANGRY CCT Chairman Threatens To Jail Pro-Saraki Senators

 
The Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Danladi Umar has threatened to jail Senators attending Court session in solidarity with embattled Senate President Bukola Saraki who is currently undergoing a 16-count corruption trial at the CCT.
Danladi Umar who got angry over ‘rude’ comments from senators and other supporters of Mr. Saraki stated that their (Senators’) conduct was becoming unbearable in his court, adding that they should “keep quiet”.
Umar said: “If I hear anybody ask the counsel to sit down, I will deal with the person and nobody can question me about it. In fact, I will hold the person in contempt and sentence the person to hard labour and nobody will question me.”
The trial of Mr. Saraki for alleged anticipatory and false asset declaration resumed Tuesday (today), after weeks of rescheduling at the instance of prosecution team.
The tribunal is hoping to conclude the cross-examination of prosecution witness, Michael Wetkas, this week, counsel in the case said.
The cross-examination began in April, and has prolonged till now, a situation that has angered the prosecution team which has accused the defence of unnecessarily slowing down the trial
