The senate has lunched investigation into the alleged assault involving chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) Danladi Umar,
The CCT chairman was caught on a video which went vira on the social media where he appeared to have hit a security guard who had told him his vehicle was parked in the wrong space at Banex Plaza, Wuse 2, Abuja.
Clement Sagwak, the guard on duty who was assaulted by the Danladi had petitioned the senate through Senator Istifanus Gyang, the senator representing Plateau north senatorial district.
Reading the petition on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday, Gyang said Sagwak was seeking justice for the assault he suffered in the cause of carrying out his duty.
Gyang said the petitioner alleged that the CCT chairman assaulted him.
Ruling on the matter, senate president Ahmad Lawan, directed the senate committee on ethics and public petitions headed by Ayo Akinyelure to investigate the matter and report back in four weeks.
The decision of the senate to investigate the matter was based on the fact that the petitioner is yet to seek legal intervention.
Although the federal capital territory (FCT) police command says it will apply “fairness and professionalism” in investigating the allegation, it has continued to delay the case.
