Report from the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
A serving Accountant General of Taraba State, Mr Joel J. Lenubang was on the 25th of February, docked along with others at Code of Conduct Tribunal, allegedly for refusing to declare their assets as public officers contrary to the Act establishing the Code of conduct for public officers as enshrined in the 1999 constitution.
Mr. Lenubang was charged for non-declaration of his assets sometime in 2003, but in a swift reaction, his counsel, Barr. Kolawole Olowookere filed a notice of preliminary objection against the charge, arguing that the procedure for filling matters before the Tribunal was not complied with.
The Tribunal, chaired by Justice Danladi Umar Yakub along with two other members of the Tribunal, Justice Agwadza William Atedze and Justice Robert Isaac Odu (RTD), ordered that written addresses be filed and served for argument at the next adjourned date of 10th April, 2014.
The case is contained in charge No: CCT/TR/14/08 at Code of Conduct Tribunal.
