The Senate, on Wednesday, invoked Section 157(1) of the Constitution to officially remove Yakubu Umar from his position as Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) over allegations of misconduct.
With Umar’s dismissal, Abdullahi Bello is set to officially assume office as the new substantive Chairman of the Tribunal.
The decision was supported by 84 Senators, representing a two-thirds majority, who signed in favor of Umar’s removal.
The resolution will now be forwarded to President Bola Tinubu for further action.
