Obetta |
We read with shock, the lies spewed
out by Barrister Vincent Egechukwu Obetta in his interview with Petrus Obi of Sun
Newspaper on June 21, 2016. To put the records straight, Barrister Obetta was
sacked by the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu. For
working with the DSS to indefinitely detain Nnamdi Kanu, Barrister Obetta was
fired by our leader in person when Obetta visited him at Kuje prison. It is on
record that you, Obetta, refused to work with other lawyers knowing fully well
that this is a major international case requiring the input of more than one
person (Obetta) who as it turns out is a lecturer and not actually a practising
lawyer.
For the avoidance of doubts, it was
Barrister Gab Egbule that secured Nnamdi Kanu’s bail at the Magistrates Court
and not Obetta and the records are there to prove it. It is also on record that
Barristers Ifeanyi Ejiofor and Gab Egbule prepared the arguments that led to
the respected Justice Ademola dismissing the frivolous DSS charge of terrorism
and not Barrister Obetta. It must be revealed to the entire world that when
unconditional release was ordered by the court, Barrister Obetta refused to
file contempt of court charge against the DSS for failing to obey court order.
Had Obetta filed this charge against Buhari and his DSS on behalf of our
leader, no court would have had the effrontery to continue with the bogus
charge of treasonable felony.
It is no secret that Barrister
Obetta worked hand-in-hand with the DSS for financial reward to sabotage the
genuine efforts of other lawyers working to set Nnamdi Kanu free. It was Obetta
that connived with the DSS to advice our leader to reject Justice A. R.
Mohammed on the grounds that he is a Hausa-Fulani Muslim when your fellow
lawyers advised you that Justice Mohammed is a good man. You, Obetta, knew that
the removal of Justice A. R. Mohammed will result in a biased judge like John Tsoho
being brought in to handle the case.
Why did you, Obetta, not stand up in court to reject Justice Mohammed rather than advising your client, Nnamdi Kanu, to do so thereby effectively condemning him in the eyes of Nigerian judges who feel slighted that one of their own was rejected in an open court?

Barrister Obetta, can you tell the
world where you got the money with which you bought a house at
Trans-Ekulu in Enugu? You, Barrister Vincent Obetta, openly canvassed for
political appointment at DSS office as a reward for ensuring that our leader
remained behind bars. It is known to everyone that you, Obetta, connived with
DSS to continue the illegal detention of our leader at DSS dungeon when he
should have been transferred to a prison facility as he is now.
We would like to ask: did you Obetta
not advice our leader to discontinue the court case and remain indefinitely in
prison? These are the reasons why you were sacked. You did not resign, you were
dismissed. Any lawyer in the defence team of our leader who is found to be
afraid of the Nigerian Government, DSS or any of her agents will be sacked no
matter who you are. The case against our leader is the biggest legal case in
the history of Nigeria and we won't let anyone mishandle it.
It is worthy to note that
Barrister Obetta met with Igbo politicians without briefing his client. If
Obetta resigned, how come he ran away with the case file? Obetta thinks
IPOB is an amateurish organisation but he and his DSS handlers are clearly
mistaken. Barrister Obetta will still be cited to the relevant legal
authorities for gross misconduct. If he is in doubt he should ask Judge John
Tsoho who will most definitely be disgraced out of office.
