The lawyer, in a petition written through C.K. Mgbekeonye and Shekinah Chambers stated that since representing the broadcaster on October 23 ,2024 at a Magistrate Court sitting in Owerri over charges of conspiracy, treason, arson against him by the state police command that he has been receiving calls from strange people.

Mgbekeonye hinted that after appearing for the defendant he started receiving calls from strange people with hidden phone numbers warning him not to continue with the case or have himself to blame.

He further stated in the petition that the unknown callers, as if they are not done with the threat, accosted him while returning from office along Toronto-MCC Road Owerri with a black Toyota Hilux tinted glass, that on sensing possible danger he veered into the Toronto Police Divisional Headquarters for safety.
