Lagos-based lawyer, Mike
Ozekhom, known for
representing men who
have stolen public funds
or caught in one act of
corruption or the other,
despite the obvious
charges of corruption
against ex-Governor of
Bayelsa State, Diepreye
Alamieyeseigha, he still
defended him until Alams
finally confessed and was
convicted.
Mike Ozekhome is also
the lawyer representing
Hon Farouk Lawan who
was caught on tape
collecting a huge some of
money from businessman
Femi Otedola as bribe. So
we were not really
surprised when we got the
story that Ozekhome
struck a deal with the
guys who kidnapped him
with his son.
The good thing however is
that this time Ozekhome
entered into a deal that
enabled him to secure his
life from the den of the
dare-devil guys who
kidnapped him on August
23, 213.
The revelation is
that Ozekhome's son and
head of his chamber had
gone to secure his release
with an amount that is not
up to what the guys
demanded for, hence they
rejected the money.
The two persons who had
gone to secure
Ozekhome’s release were
said to have told the
kidnappers that they
couldn’t raise up to the
required amount and that
only their father could
raise such.
Then a deal was struck.
Ozekhome pleaded with
the kidnappers to take his
son and allow him go so
that he can raise the
money they asked for.
One week after he was
released to got the money
for his ransom, Ozekhome
paid the ransom to the
kidnappers and secured
the release of his son and
head of his chambers..
So, the truth is that
Ozekhome was not
actually released on
September 12 as the
media was made to
believe as he left their
custody about a week
earlier.
