The immediate past Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Danladi Umar, on Thursday pleaded not guilty to four counts of alleged corruption brought against him by the Federal Government before the FCT High Court in Abuja.
Umar was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission before Justice Peter Kekemeke on charges bordering on allegedly conferring corrupt and unfair advantages on himself through payments made by contractors to his wife and children.
The charges were filed on June 19, 2026.
At the commencement of proceedings, prosecution counsel, Christopher Mshelia, informed the court that the matter was for arraignment.
After the charges were read to him, Umar pleaded not guilty to all four counts.
