The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) made progress in Charge No. CCT/ABJ/01/2025 between the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Hon. Danladi Bonboy Chiya at the Code of Conduct Tribunal on February 24, 2026, in Abuja.

Although the Defendant was absent from court, he was represented by counsel. The Bureau’s prosecution team, led by Musa Ibrahim Usman, Esq., urged the Tribunal to compel the Defendant’s attendance under the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.

In its ruling, the Tribunal ordered that the Defendant be freshly served with the charge. If personal service proves impracticable, substituted service should be effected through his Counsel’s Chambers.

The Bureau filed the charge over allegations of misappropriation of public funds, conflict of interest, and operating a private business while serving as a public officer.

The matter was adjourned to March 10, 2026, for arraignment
