Lawyer Seeks Prosecution of Ex-CCT Chairman Over Banex Plaza Assault
A human rights lawyer has petitioned the Attorney General of the Federation to charge former Code of Conduct Tribunal chairman Umar Danladi over an alleged assault on Clement Sargwak at Banex Plaza, Wuse 2, Abuja. In a petition dated May 14, 2026, the lawyer asked the AGF to review video footage and witness statements. He cited Section 265 of the Penal Code Act and relevant provisions of the 1999 Constitution and the Administration of Criminal Justice Act. He urged the AGF to either file criminal charges or grant him leave for private prosecution. He warned that ignoring the incident could undermine public confidence in the justice system. “No person is above the law,” he said, stressing the need for proper court adjudication of serious allegations.
