BREAKING: Barrister Marshal Has Responded Over Allegations Level Against Him By Businesswoman Tracy Ohiri Amids $70,000 Payment From Minister Of Work MY ATTENTION HAS BEEN DRAWN TO THE FALSEHOOD BEEN SPEWED BY MS TRACY OHIRI “Indeed, the fact that you helped a viper out of a ditch doesn't stop the snake from biting you. It's an undeniable fact that I was the person that rallied public spirited individuals like distinguished Senator Ireti Kingibe, the verydarkman, Comrade Omoyele Sowore, FlagboyNg, Comrade Larry and several other comrades to her aid. “Our focus was that, on no account should state apparatus be deployed to gag free speech. It was on account of our continuous activism that Ms Ohiri is not in prison today. I led other activist lawyers to move her bail orally & even while bail was granted, there was a long standoff & a lucid ploy to send her to prison at all cost. “We eventually succeeded and helped her escape prison. Distinguished Senator Ireti Kingibe tried to broker peace and mediate but she informed me that Mr. Umahi insisted that he wasn't owing her and wouldn't pay unless she can establish the existence of a contract between them. “I spoke to Senator Umahi with Mummy Ireti's phone & he was adamant, he promised he would exhaust the full judicial process to clear his name & promised to pay her in tenfold if the court ruled that he owes her but unless that she would face the full wrath of the law. “We rescheduled a meeting and I promised to revert back upon speaking with Ms Ohiri. When I spoke with her I explained the entire situation to her and explained that she has two options; she either fights on or explore settlement. If she elects to fight on, we would fight with her but she must provide necessary evidence on core issues; I discovered that there was no single real evidence of any contractual agreement between her and the Minister, that there was no evidence that the minister ever engaged her to do any contract and that there was no evidence that the minister ever informed her that what happened to the NELAN Engineers would happen to her and she couldn't show a single evidence that she delivered the goods to the minister's house as she claimed. “Meanwhile Mr Umahi already filed several matters in Ebonyi state against her. When she eventually decided, she said she doesn't want to go to Ebonyi state and that she wouldn't mind peace. We had a follow up meeting with the Minister's lawyer, Mr Abdul SAN, the minister's friend Barrister Joseph Ekumankama, Senator Ireti, Ms Traçy, her husband and I, Marshal Abubakar in attendance. “The meeting ended in a stalemate, Ms Ohiri has a terrible temper & manner, she threw tantrums & insults at everyone in that meeting thus it ended on a sour note. We all left. when the reality of what she had done dawned on her, she called & started begging. I told her clearly, she had chosen war and advised that she gets the evidence to prove her allegations. She pleaded and pleaded that I should not abandon her. She said she can't go to Ebonyi and that she's scared of Mr Umahi. At long last she offered to apologize. “Mr Umahi insisted that he would not pay a dime unless she can show the existence of communications between them prior to 2023. I reached out to Barrister Joseph (who himself was a former minister) and he offered to raise some money if she would recanẗ the false allegations otherwise I should allow her face the music. “I informed her of the decision. I told her that I do not like getting involved in money matters because of the bad blood it normally generates. She said she can't meet them cause she's scared. I told her defamation under Nigerian law is both a crime and a tortious wrong (though I have been at the vanguard of championing the fight to decriminalize free speech but it's still the law). She admitted she had no evidence and agreed to recant so long as the court processes against her would be terminated.
