The Lawyer whose name was used in signing a controversial and now viral quit notice letter, Mr. S.T. Akohol Esq has denied authorship of the said letter.
Earlier today, an Abuja-based Senior Advocate of Nigeria, J.S. Okutepa has raised alarm about the impersonation of law firm allegedly by one S.T. Akohol on a Quit Notice which is currently making rounds on social media.
The quit notice sighted by TheNigeriaLawyer was signed by one S.T. Akohol Esq., posing as a lawyer in the law firm of J.S. Okutepa SAN.
However in a disclaimer made available to TheNigeriaLawyer, J.S. Okutepa SAN made it categorically clear to the public that the Notice did not emanate from his office.
According to him, Mr S.T. Akohol was once in the employment of his law firm but left as far back as 2018 to set up his own practice.
In a statement, Mr S.T. Akohol Esq, roundly denied authorship of the letter which was signed with his name.
In a statement addressed personally to J.S. Okutepa SAN, he wrote, “It is unfortunate that, your office hard earned reputation and of my humble self is being thrown to the mud by reckless, wicked, defamatory, unprofessional conduct of one of our colleagues vide an offensive document purported to be authored by me and emanating from your Law Firm.”
According to him, the action of the impersonator is reckless, wicked, defame, and unprofessional. He also described the action as unfortunate and expressed readiness to collaborate with the police and the NBA branch to get to the root of the issue.
He added, “It is unfortunate that I have no ideal about the said document whatsoever. I have already got the Police involed and ready to work with the Welfare Committee of the Branch to getting to the root of the issue. It is truly unfortunate sir.”
