The Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, Danladi Umar has been allegedly caught on camera physically assaulting a security guard at Banex Plaza in Wuse, Abuja.
In the video, Umar was allegedly seen speaking angrily, scolding, and shouting at the yet-to-be-identified security guard.
The CCT chairman was also alleged to have launched a barrage of attacks on the young man and violently kicked him before he was restrained by the crowd and police officers present at the scene, who later forced him into his vehicle.
Information made available from an eyewitness and the brutalized security guard was to that all the assaulted young man did was to ask Umar to park his car very well at the plaza, only for the CCT chairman to slap him, pull him down and inflict injuries on him.

The action however didn’t go well with people who felt Umar cheated the security guard.
They suddenly became aggressive, throwing stones at the vehicles in the CCT chairman’s convoy, smashing their windscreens and windows.
Consequently, the legal services of Abuja-based legal practitioner, Ihensekhien Samuel Jnr, was sought, who swiftly intervened and made legal representation at the Maitama Police Station under the Federal Capital Territory Police Command where Umar had gone to lodge a complaint against the security guard.
The Divisional Police Officer at Maitama where the complaint was lodged, on seeing the video recordings of the attack by Umar on the young security guard, swiftly ordered the release of the security guard on bail.
Reacting to the above, counsel for the assaulted security guard, Ihensekhien Samuel said steps would be taken to promptly sue and prosecute Danladi Umar.
