Gombe State Governor, Muhammed Inuwa Yahaya and the All Progressives Congress, APC, are now embroiled in a fierce face-off with a group of legal practitioners in Abuja over an alleged N40 million legal fee debt.
While the lawyers operating under the aegis of Steel Attorneys and led by Abubakar Marshall are insisting that the governor and APC are indebted to them to the tune of N40m, Governor Yahaya on the other hand is claiming he never engaged them for legal representation in any law court in Nigeria.
All counsel engaged by us at all levels of election proceedings are duly remunerated in line with terms mutually agreed upon.” But the Steel Attorneys dismissed the claim of the Gombe Governor insisting that the Abuja lawyers were legally engaged and discharged the mandate at the court and must be paid freely or be compelled to do so by law court.
