IN February 2018, the incumbent Minister of State for Labour, Festus Keyamo, as an Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, prosecutor, had filed a bribery and judicial racketeering case against Justice Danladi Umar, Chairman, Code of Conduct Tribunal. He was accused of receiving N1.8 million out of alleged N10 million he demanded from one Rasheed Taiwo in 2012.
However, after the CCT Chairman’s role in the code of conduct cases against former Senate President, Bukola Saraki and former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, withdrew Keyamo’s case against Umar for “lack of merit”. The case was subsequently struck out by Justice Yusuf Halilu of the Abuja High Court.
