Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Danladi Umar, has vowed to fight off the corruption charges filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The EFCC brought the charges against Mr. Umar last month, accusing him of taking up to N10 million in bribes from a former Customs official who was facing false assets declaration charges before him.
Umar, in his first comments to the media since the details of the EFCC charges were made public last Friday, claimed he was facing trumped up charges, but was nonetheless prepared to vigorously defend himself in courts.

The tribunal chief accused the EFCC of “unstable” tactics, saying the charges were brought against him after he had been twice cleared by the same agency.
