Senior Advocate of Nigeria Adeniyi Adegbonmire, has denied speaking to any Wale Fapohunda concerning the re-arrest of Omoyele Sowore by men of the Department of State Services.

The learned silk in the statement he made stated categorically that he never issued such a statement neither did he speak with the said Wale.

He, thus, dissociate himself with the post and demanded that it be bought down by those behind it.

“It has come to my attention that there is a statement trending on different social media platforms attributed to me and stating that I spoke to Wale Fapohunda concerning the re-arrest of Omoyele Sowore by men of the Department of State Services (DSS), at the premises of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Abuja, yesterday the 6th of December, 2019.

“I state categorically that I never issued such a statement neither did I speak to Wale Fapohunda or inform anybody that I spoke with Wale Fapohunda. The only Wale Fapohunda I know and relate with is the Honourable Attorney-General of Ekiti State, and I did not speak to him about the events of yesterday at the premises of the Federal High Court of Nigeria neither did I tell anyone that I did.

“I have since informed the Honourable Attorney-General of Ekiti State of this and demand that this extremely misleading, mischievous and offending post be brought down by those behind it. I hereby dissociate myself from the said post,” he said.

Below reads the post:

From Adeniyi Adegbomire SAN-

A friend of mine, Wale Fapohunda, who was in court today when Sowore’s re-arrest was purportedly effected inside the courtroom has this to say about the incident:

“Okay, so I was in court today and here is what happened. The court had adjourned his matter till 11th Feb next year. The court called the next matter and proceeding had commenced in respect of the next matter. Sowore stepped out of the court room and suddenly we heard noises coming from the corridor “leave me alone” “they want to kill me” “they want to kill Sowore” and all that. Suddenly Sowore’s people started dragging him with the DSS and they dragged him into the court room. The judge seeing this, rose and went to her chambers. The DSS didn’t enter the court room to arrest him rather his supporters dragged him in with the DSS official. Nobody chased the judge out, she rose and went to her chambers on seeing squabbles. Later on, the DSS official left the court room and waited for him outside the court. Thank you all. Behold my eye witness account”.
