One of the Barristers that was debriefed by Engr. Frank Okon, Barr Leo Ekpenyong has given an insight into why he has refused to join AndemAndem, EyoUbuo and Rosemary Salami in fighting Frank Okon for the legal fee which AndemAndem and co are alleging 62million naira.
Ekpenyong in an interaction with our reporter on phone maintained that he has refused to join or be joined in the suit due to what he described as professional, ethical and personal reasons. He explained that they had agreed with Frank Okon that they will be paid on a contingency arrangement which implies that after they had won the case, it is then that they will be paid their legal fee.
The university of Abuja law graduate believes that even if they have been debriefed by Engr. Frank Okon, it is not the end of the case noting that he has decided not to join or be joined in the suit. He denied vehemently that he has received some money from Frank Okon or any person acting onbehalf or on Frank’s capacity.
