Counsels to Udom Emmanuel and Senator Effiong Bob, Barr. Samuel Ikpo, and Inibehe Effiong’s chambers have continued to bicker over last week’s conviction of the human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong by the Chief Judge of Akwa Ibom State, justice Ekaette Obot.
He claimed that the chief judge took the action to commit the lawyer to prison to curtail his excesses which he said the CJ had contained for a long time before now. He said it was at that juncture that the court could not contain the attitudes of the defence lawyer in challenging the court decisions verbally and disrupting the proceedings and asked him to step out of the bar and disrobe.
In a press statement entitled, “Incarceration of Barr Inibehe Effiong by CJ, Akwa Ibom state, Hon justice Ekaette Fabian Obot; the truth you must know” Effiong said while he was cross-examining the witness, the CJ interjected and decided to know a man in a red shirt who later identified himself as a reporter from Premium Times and was later sent out by the CJ after his phone was confiscated.
