the petition before the Senate on April 29.
The Senate then summoned the CCT Chairman to defend himself.
Umar when he appeared before the lawmakers on Tuesday said he
was not properly served with the petition and based on the
principle of fair hearing, he should be given sufficient time to
allow him to study the petition.
The Chairman of the Committee, Ayo Akinyelure, said the
committee resolved to give Mr Umar two weeks – till May 18, to
reappear before the committee.
The Senate following the viral video directed its Committee on
Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions to probe the assault on
the security guard.
The petitioner said he was assaulted by Mr. Umar and a policeman
attached to him after he informed him that his car was wrongly
parked at the popular Banex Plaza in Abuja.
