COMEDY IN COURT AS DAN LADI UMAR ASSUMES THE ROLE OF WITNESS IN #CCTvsSARAKI

Danladi Umar CCT

 

It was an action-packed court session today, as several interesting revelations came to light as the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) trial of the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, entered its fifth day.

 

Earlier in the day, based on the Chairman of the CCT, Dan Ladi Umar’s, double-booking of cases at the same time and on the same day, the lead counsel of a former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe, who is also on trial at the CCT, argued that double-booking two cases was an abuse of court processes.

 

In a heated rebuttal, the CCT Chairman ordered Orubebe’s counsel to sit down, and said that he was proceeding with Saraki’s case despite the protestations of Orubebe’s counsel.

 

When the cross-examination of the first witness in the case, Mr. Micheal Wetkas, an official of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) continued, counsel to the Senate President, Paul Usoro (SAN), had to point out that the CCT Chairman was acting as if he was the one on the stand.

 

In a comical exchange on the usage of credit and debit cards, Usoro asked Wetkas whether he owned a debit card to which Wetkas responded: “I am not a banker, but I have an ATM card.”

 

At that point, Umar began explaining what a credit card was to the court, to which Usoro responded:

 

“Thank you for that explanation my lord,” he said, “The only problem that I have here is that my lord is not the one on the witness stand.”

 

At that point, the whole court burst into laughter, knowing fully well that Umar’s role as a judge is meant to be neutral in the cross-examination process.

 

The CCT Chairman immediately asked both Counsels to adjourn the cross-examination for 15 minutes.

  26. When there is nonstop noise in your ears, normal functions of life become burdens.
    It’s not just the tinnitus that destroys lives,
    but the signs and symptoms that include it. The Tinnitus Miracle is accessible
    in PDF format and can be downloaded on both pc and on your Mac.

  27. May I simply just say what a relief to discover a person that genuinely knows
    what they’re discussing on the net. You actually understand
    how to bring a problem to light and make it important.

    More and more people have to check this out and understand this
    side of your story. It’s surprising you are not more popular given that you surely have the gift.

  28. And it’s very difficult for most of us have experienced before, and they simply break down.

  29. Costs there can be as minimal as $500 for your automobile in a excellent situation. Driven aggressively,
    the cars will run out of power in about 30 minutes.

    It is available in two versions of petrol and diesel and has been a
    very reasonable price.

  30. I’ve been surfing online more than three hours these days, yet I never discovered any fascinating
    article like yours. It is beautiful price enough
    for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content as you did, the net can be a lot
    more useful than ever before.

  31. Tympanic membrane and Meniere’s syndrome are also considered as the cause of tinnitus.
    Natural remedies seek to address the root cause of your tinnitus.

    Tinnitus maskers do not treat the condition except to drown out the ringing so
    that that a sufferer can function without being consumed by the noise.

  32. Wow, incredible blog layout! How long have you been blogging
    for? you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your
    website is excellent, let alone the content!

    write more about this issue, it may not be a
    taboo subject but usually people don’t talk
    about these topics. To the next! All the best!!

  34. This accounts for the space between her breasts, and the fact that she really can’t
    move them together to get midline cleavage, ala Dolly Parton. So how does this very promising breast enlargement method works.
    Come Sunday, March 7, 2010 pop icon Mariah Carey will appear on the red
    carpet at the 2010 Academy Awards ceremony, to support her film “Precious”,
    and if her past predicts her future – Carey’s voluptuous bustline will
    more than likely be on display.

  35. Crane was able to eliminate or at least being told to go for them.
    You’ve probably heard about how effective massage
    therapy is an age-old natural healing method would be
    detrimental to the health benefits of Chinese massage that uses special stones, such as the institute of Cosmetology.

  36. I don’t know if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering problems with your website.
    It appears as if some of the text within your posts are
    running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening
    to them too? This may be a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
    Thanks
