Imo Tribunal: Okorocha is after my life, Mike Ahamba (Ihedioha's lead counsel) cries out. Senior lawyer handling case is shot

The lead counsel to Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, the PDP governorship candidate for the just concluded general elections in Imo state, Mr. Mike Ahamba, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), has cried out to the public and law enforcement agencies over the incessant threats to his life by those he alleged are from the "rumoured" hit squads of Governor Rochas Okorocha.

Ahamba in a statement on Saturday, personally signed by himself and obtained by NewsDay Reporters revealed that Okorocha has sent his alleged hit squads to silence him and his Special Assistant who is also a key witness if he continued "to remain stubborn to his warnings to me to withdraw the election petition."

Mike Ahamba was formerly in the APC before Okorocha's
atrocities forced them to decamp

Continuing, Ahamba, who has spent 41 years in the legal profession, disclosed that Okorocha had personally warned him to withdraw the case and one of such warning occasions were also through his "wife after the burial of Honourable Justice Mary Peter Odili’s mother at Obizi on 13th June, 2015. 

He said he "had treated those warnings as a social joke. It now appears that I got it all wrong; it appears that Owelle means business" due to the renewed and continued threats coming from the alleged hit squads of Okorocha.

Ugo Lorji, as Ahamba is popularly called, also revealed that Okorocha has openly threatened the traditional rulers from Mbaise, as captured by This Day Newspaper of 3rd July, 2015, to be severely dealt with if Ahamba should continue with the tribunal case.

In the same vein, it was revealed that a senior lawyer handling their case at the Tribunal was shot a fortnight ago, heightening the fear of insecurity in the state which Ahamba suggest it was a prelude of the governor to call for a relocation of the Tribunal to Abuja which the PDP and Ahamba has vehemently rejected.

Chief Mike Ahamba therefore called for protection from the Security Agencies as they commence the Tribunal proceedings on Monday 6th July, 2015.
