It appears that the controversial lawyer has been given a black eye by his client as he said in his application that recent events, including his client's confession at OFM and her subsequent refusal to play to her alleged "sponsors" script have made their continued partnership "untenable".
Keyamo also finally confessed in his plea that he has never known the address of Stephanie Otobo, a client he has been working for, since 2017. This confession by a lawyer of Keyamo's standing has left many Nigerians wondering why he created the impression of closeness and care for his supposed client all these months.
In what seems to be a killer punch, Stephanie Otobo has deposed to an affidavit distancing herself from another affidavit earlier made public by Festus Keyamo, in which she was claimed to be asking the court to examine the genitals of the Apostle via forensics.
According to the new affidavit signed by Otobo, her lawyer (Festus Keyamo) deceived her by giving her a "bundle of documents" to sign, telling her that it was just papers to allow the police release her phone which was in custody at the time. Unknown to her, the lawyer refused to let her read the document because it was a scheme to submit the so-called request for forensic examination against the preacher, a move that blindsided the young lady. She has accused Keyamo of dishonesty and told the court that her alleged sex affair with the Apostle never happened.
She also reaffirmed her earlier confession that she was used by "some powerful politicians and pastors who only wanted to pull down the Man of God".
To find peace of mind and move on with her life, Miss Otobo said she had confessed in order to find forgiveness as her conscience had been troubled all through the saga. She also appealed to all stakeholders to let her move on with her young life so she can find her purpose for living.
The revelations in this affidavit brought before the Ikeja high court and the subsequent application by Keyamo to withdraw as counsel to Miss Otobo has exposed the unethical behavior of lawyers in their quest to win cases, pull people down, deceive even their own clients, and distort facts in order to subvert justice. But it is more diminishing when it is a lawyer of Keyamo's repute that is caught indulging in such unwholesome practices.
The Apostle has vowed through his counsel to report the lawyer to the appropriate authorities including the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee. He is said to be very bitter about the manner Keyamo handled this saga and the deliberate manipulation of facts to defame his character.
Mtcheeewww.....

ReplyDeleteConfused fellow
ReplyDeleteShe's not confused. Powerful people don reachout to her.... Take it by force kind of deal.
DeleteAnd then it continues..................
ReplyDeleteIt is very obvious that some influential people were behind the whole drama cause I don't think Otobo can afford a lawyer like Keyamo. She got sponsors.
ReplyDeleteKeyamo was doing humanitarian service. Ask her how much she paid Keyamo

ReplyDeleteConfused people
ReplyDeleteThis Stephanie girl na ode.
ReplyDeleteWhy start something you can’t finish?
You and Apostle were in a relationship, let me not spill what I know.
You would have thought this thing through before exposing him.
Now you’re singing another tune.
Perhaps you’ve been offered money or your family members spoke sense into you.
Keyamo, see wahala for you. Chai.
Spill what? Is Dat a threat? Who knows u kwanu? What can u spill that has not been heard before? Take several seats.
Delete***Chy Ozo***
Which humanitarian service? Na lie. So many real cases that need pro bono and of all of them he chose a sex scandal case?! He was obviously used by a politician who could afford his services and he was stupid enough not to have totally delegated the case to one of his subs with their own chambers. See how he looks now, a whole keyamo chambers.
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't mean the apostle did it or didn't do it, it means we don't know and may never know. If he didn't, too bad for him cos the stigma may still last and these politicians can be really evil.
Disgraced people
ReplyDeleteControversial lawyer and a confused lady.
ReplyDeleteSpeechless over the whole drama.
ReplyDeleteThe case will never end
ReplyDeleteOnce a hoe always a hoe.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who believes she was "being used by some politicians and pastors" will believe anything.
Which court or disciplinary committee will believe her with her drama and inconsistent stories. Unless she reveals the so-called politicians and pastors if she dares. She has no reputation that will standup before any judge.
Hmmmmmmmmmm
DeleteThis story tier me
it is clear this girl has been kidnapped by Suleman. Nobody has seen her with their eyes since she arrived Nigeria. The courts and the Canadian Embassy should insist on seeing her in person to make sure she is fine.@That Suleman is a thug with an unexplained source of wealth and how do you explain away those videos she exposed of him? Even his wife must know he is lying.
