The house of representatives has removed Danladi Umar as chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

During Tuesday’s plenary, the house invoked paragraph 17 (3), part 1, fifth schedule of the 1999 constitution as amended, and section 22(3) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act Cap C15 LFN 2004.

The above section of the constitution stipulates that: “A person holding the office of Chairman or member of the Code of Conduct Tribunal shall not be removed from his office or appointment by the President except upon an address supported by two-thirds majority of each House of the National Assembly praying that he be so removed for inability to discharge the functions of the office in question (whether arising from infirmity of mind or body) or for misconduct or for contravention of this Code”.

Meanwhile, the house of representatives consists of 360 members. Thus, two-thirds of this number is 240.

When TheCable counted, fewer than 150 lawmakers were present in the chamber at the time the motion was moved and Danladi’s removed subsequently.
