Some youths on Monday booed a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chief Mike Ozekhome as he made his way to into the venue of the 14th Annual Chief Gani Fawenhimi Lecture, where he was slated as one of the discussants.

The angry youths who blocked Ozekhome from getting in the high table accused him of shielding looters. The venue of the lecture at the Airport Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos became rowdy when the youths insisted that the SAN would not be allowed into the lecture hall.

The protesters accused Ozekhome of defending personalities like Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state, former First Lady, Mrs Patience Jonathan and Senate President Bukola Saraki among others, who they labeled as corrupt,  contrary to the ideals of the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi.

The development forced the keynote speaker, a former Dean, Faculty of Law, Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile-Ife, Prof. Demola Popoola to stop his paper for about 20 minutes.

It took the intervention of the Chairman of the Ikeja branch of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr Adesina Ogunlana; and that of Mr Richard Akinola, to shield Ozekhome from the irate youth. Mr Femi Falana SAN, who was also at the event, had to leave the high table where he sat among others to placate the youths and calm them down.

Fawehinmi’s son, Mohammed told the protesting youths that his late father did not believe in violence but rather was very democratic, stressing that the late Fawehinmi would not have approved what they did because Ozekhome was at the event for a purpose.

“This gathering is a democratic gathering and it is a gathering in which security should not  restrict anybody”, he said, adding that he was about nine years old when Ozekhome was working as a counsel in his late father’s chamber.

At least you got informed. it's a mark of ingratitude and crudity for you to so denigrate a site that provided you an article of interest.

That you are an illiterate is clear to all who read your post. Abeg go primary school go learn spelling.

So accused persons should not be defended?

Informed with what?... a misleading title?... The title says one thing, the report says the exact opposite.

Sorry I'm not in the habit of clicking random web links, I still dont know what you claim Ozekhome said as your thread title suggests. I can also assure you that 98% of the people on this thread wouldnt also click you web link. If you cant post the info here but expect people to click your nonsense weblink, you've ended up passing no info, except for a misleading title.

@Myndd44, Seun, is this even allowed on this forum? Creating threads with misleading titles and diverting forumites to go read the report on an external website/blog?
