A former consultant and investigator with the EFCC Mr. Victor Osita Uwajeh has said that no amount of intimidation from Senator Andy Uba will stop him from claiming his professional fee from him.
Uwajeh who accused Uba of using state machinery and the police to intimidate him wondered why a serving senator of the Federal Republic will descend so low by fraudulently using the court to silent justice.
Uwajeh was reacting to the recent court charges in the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court asking him to appear before it on February 13, 2018 to take his plea on charges bordering on forgery, impersonation and fraud.
He said, ” No amount of intimidation by Senator Andy Uba using the police and state machinery will stop me from legally claiming my professional fee from him.
” He should pay me my fee rather than getting the police to harass me through trumped up court charges”.
Uwajeh had initiated a suit against Senator Andy Uba (APC, Anambra) over allegations of refusal to pay a debt of £1.9 million.
Uwajeh’s counsel, Barrister Anthony Agbonlahor had told an FCT High Court sitting in Apo that Uba engaged his client’s services for an assignment in United Kingdom Border Agency and in the United States of America (US) pursuant to his two power of attorneys dated 28 December, 2012 and 5 January, 2013 and refused to pay his professional fees.
He said his client travelled to America several times and engaged the services of a lawyer who was mandated to attend every court session in the US to dispose off a warrant of arrest and eventually settle the case which was instituted by the US government against Uba.
The lawmaker was also accused forging his West African Examination Council Certificate (WAEC) results as well as his Concordia University in Montreal, Canada and several other academic credentials.
The court however advised them to settle the matter out of court but instead of exploring the option, Uba resorted to using the police to intimidate Uwajeh.
