The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) is set to arraign at least 50 public officers allegedly found to have breached their codes of office.
Mr Atekojo Usman, Special Adviser on Media to Justice Danladi Umar, Chairman of the Tribunal, stated on Thursday in Abuja that affected officers would be arraigned for failure to honour invitations by the CCT.
He stated that the tribunal held a session on Wednesday on six officials who had earlier failed to answer to summons sent to them.
Only five of the six officials were present at the sitting, he added.
“In continuation of its sittings, the CCT held its session on Oct. 19 where cases involving defendants from some ministries, departments and agencies were adjudicated upon.
“The complete panel of the tribunal sat on Wednesday,’’ he stated.
