Following the increasing number of cases involving high profile political personalities at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, the Chairman, Justice Danladi Umar has written the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, to beef up the security around him, his office, home and family.
Although it is not clear whether there is any threat to Justice Umar's life, sources say that his phone lines have been under intense pressure, forcing him to restrict calls.
He is also said to have restricted his movement to his residence and office.
According to a source,
“The application has been submitted to the CJN for necessary contact with appropriate security agencies.
“I think the letter was just a pre-emptive step to guarantee adequate security for the judge in view of the increasing number of sensitive matters at the tribunal."
