(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Chairman, Code of Conduct Tribunal, Umar Danladi, has come under severe criticism on social media after he referred to those whom he claimed assault him as “Biafran Boys”.

The CCT Chairman was seen in a viral video on Tuesday assaulting a security guard and in a poorly written statement signed by Head, Press & Public Relations of the CCT in Abuja, Ibraheem Al-Hassan, the Chairman stated that the altercation occurred because of a parking space.

According to him, the guard was rude to him and threatened him and this triggered the situation. He further stated that a mob consisting of ‘Biafran boys’ attacked him, destroyed his windscreen and injured him.

Reacting to this development, some Nigerians took to their twitter account to berate the CCT chairman for describing his attackers as “Biafran Boys” and some also called for his sack.

African Examiner gathers some of their thoughts below:

Uwa Mgbede Kam Mma@kaskomalima writes: “Whether they remove him in office or not, it doesn’t matter. He is just like a drop of water in an ocean. Majority of his brothers and sisters think alike. So sacking him from office won’t solve the problem.”
