New telegram reports that Mike Ozekhome said scammers are using his name on various social media to solicit funds for the trial of the IPOB leader.
A statement issued by the senior lawyer said that unscrupulous societal miscreants and criminal elements had used the situation to fraudulently raise money using his name.
The senior lawyer said:
The general public is hereby alerted that I, as the lead counsel for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader and founder of the Indigenous People of Biafra, or my chambers, have never and will never in any way authorise anyone, whether as an individual, group of persons, corporate bodies or authorities, to solicit for funds for me, or on my behalf, or on behalf of my chambers, for the purpose of prosecuting the cases of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, or for any other purpose howsoever and whatsoever.”
Warning the public against falling victim to such craft, Ozekhome said anyone caught donating money to such fraudsters and criminal elements, allegedly on the team's behalf, will be traced and prosecuted.
His words:
Members of the general public are hereby strongly advised and cautioned to desist from ever giving any money to fraudsters and impostors soliciting for funds in the name of Nnamdi Kanu’s cases as neither Nnamdi Kanu, nor our chambers, as his lawyers, will ever approach members of the public through the social media, or any other channel, for the solicitation of fund for the alleged prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu’s cases.
