Reviewed: Way Back! How A Popular San Gave His Son To Kidnappers To Gain His Own Freedom

Renowned Lagos-based lawyer, Mike Ozekhom, popular for
representing corrupt leaders who stole public funds or caught
in one act of corruption or the other, despite the obvious
charges of corruption against them.
As in the case of ex-Governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye
Alamieyeseigha, he still defended him until he finally
confessed and was convicted.
Mike Ozekhome is also the lawyer representing Hon Farouk
Lawan who was caught on tape collecting a huge some of
money from businessman Femi Otedola as bribe.
So we were not really surprised when we got the story that
Ozekhome struck a deal with the guys who kidnapped him
with his son.
The good thing however is that this time Ozekhome entered
into a deal that enabled him to secure his life from the den of
the dare-devil guys who kidnapped him on August 23, 213.
The revelation is that Ozekhome's son and head of his
chamber had gone to secure his release with an amount that is
not up to what the guys demanded for, hence they rejected the
money.
The two persons who had gone to secure Ozekhome's release
were said to have told the kidnappers that they couldn't raise
up to the required amount and that only their father could
raise such.
Then a deal was struck. Ozekhome pleaded with the
kidnappers to take his son and allow him go so that he can
raise the money they asked for. One week after he was
released to got the money for his ransom, Ozekhome paid the
ransom to the kidnappers and secured the release of his son
and head of his chambers..
So, the truth is that Ozekhome was not actually released on
September 12th as the media was made to believe as he left
their custody about a week earlier.
