Nigerian Senate on Tuesday began probe of the Chairman, Code of Conduct Tribunal, Danladi Umar (CCT) for allegedly assaulting a security guard at the Bannex Plaza, Abuja.
The Security guard in question is Clement Sagwak who hails from Plateau State.
The probe is sequel to a petition brought to the Senate by Senator Istifanus Dung Gyang, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Plateau North.
The President of the Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan then referred the petition to Senator Ayo Akinyelure, PDP, Ondo North led Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions to report back within four weeks.
With this development, Umar will have to appear before the Committee as well as the security guard.
Recall that the Chairman of CCT, Umar Danladi was caught on camera physically assaulting a security guard, Clement Sagwak at Banex Plaza in Wuse, Abuja.
The viral video showed Umar assaulting a security man who had advised him to park his vehicle properly at the Plaza.
However, his action boomeranged as other persons in the Plaza rose to the defence of the security guard as they attacked him in return.
