The Senate has directed its Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions to probe the physical assault by the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Danladi Umar on a security guard, Clement Sagwak.
The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, gave the directive on Tuesday after the Senator representing Plateau North, Istifanus Gyang, filed a petition before the Senate on behalf of the victim.
The 22-year-old employee of Jul Reliable Guards Services Limited, posted as a security guard to Banex Plaza, in Wuse, Abuja, told the Senate that he was attacked by Umar last month.
He said he was assaulted by Umar and a policeman attached to him after he informed him that his car was not properly parked.
He said the CCT boss slapped him severally and forced him to kneel down in the presence of everybody while undergoing his lawful activities.
He, therefore, asked the Senate to ensure justice was done on his case.
However, the Senate President asked the Chairman of the Ethics panel, Senator Ayo Akinyelure, to investigate the matter and report back to the Senate within one month.
