On Wednesday, the Senate invoked Section 157(1) to officially remove Yakubu Umar as Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) over allegations of misconduct.
Umar’s removal paves the way for Abdullahi Bello to officially assume his role as the new substantive Chairman of the Tribunal.
A two-thirds majority of the Senate, comprising 84 Senators, supported the resolution, which will now be forwarded to President Bola Tinubu for further action.
