The CCT chairman also launched a barrage of attacks on the young
man and violently kicked him before he was restrained by the crowd,
including police officers attached to him.
He was then forced into his vehicle by the police officers.
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 CCT chairman was on the verge of further hitting the young
security guard with a dangerous object taken from his car, when
passersby and tenants at Banex plaza, intervened and stopped him
from further assaulting and violently attacking the young security
guard,” the eyewitness said.
The action however didn’t go well with people who felt Umar
cheated the security guard.
They suddenly became aggressive and started stoning 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.
He 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 false complaint against the
security guard.
The Divisional Police Officer at Maitama where the complaint was
lodged, on seeing the video recordings of the atrocious and violent
attack by Umar on the young security guard, swiftly ordered the
prompt release of the young 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 Mr Danladi Umar.
He said, “This is a breach of extant provisions of judicial code
of any arbiter, and the height of impunity of any kind.”
He assured that the young security guard would get justice.
