CCT chairman threatens to jail journalists | Nairalaw

Danladi Umar, chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT),
says he will not hesitate to send any journalist “distorting facts
from proceedings” to jail.

Umar said this on Thursday while reacting to some newspaper
headlines from proceedings on the last adjourned date.

The CCT judge alleged that some newspapers distorted facts when
they allegedly reported that Walter Onnoghen, suspended chief
justice of Nigeria (CJN), accused the federal government of
tampering with his asset declaration forms.

Onnoghen is standing a six-count on false assets
declaration.
