I Have Your Wife’s Mandate, Falana Tells Chime

[Shola Sholaz]

Human rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana, SAN, has repudiated the claim by the Governor of Enugu State,  Sullivan Chime, that he did not receive a brief from his wife to represent her to secure her release from the illegal detention imposed by her husband, the governor.
.
"I wish to say, without any fear of contradiction, that I have her instructions in writing to challenge her illegal detention at the Government House, Enugu," he declared in a statement, Wednesday.
.
"Through the assistance of some of the security personnel in the Government House she has since spoken to me on phone to confirm her instructions.
.
Indeed, Mrs Chime's mother and her personal physician have also been in touch with me urging me to take all appropriate measures to secure her freedom from Governor Chime's illegal confinement."
.
Chime had said that Falana would have sought to talk with his wife personally or sought audience with him to hear from the other side, adding that his wife, Clara, was not in a position to brief him properly because of the state of her health.

Well that's the job of a lawyer. They deal mostly in evidence ... And that is what he has pointed out now.
Good one from him
