It could be recalled that things were going on smoothly at the tribunal until June 20 after the cross-examination of the subpoenaed witness from the University of Uyo Daniel Akpan brought by the petitioner.
In the petition, a copy of which was also read by the lead counsel to Senator Akpan, Ahmed Raji SAN, said: “The request for relocation was due to unsavoury life-threatening experiences which my client, the lawyers and witnesses have gone through, particularly after the proceedings of 20th June 2023 by the Akwa Ibom State government.”
The letter further stated that June 20th incident was “a well-orchestrated plot by the petitioner to create chaos and unleash violence of unimaginable proportions but was averted by the security agents drafted to secure lives and property around the venue of the governorship tribunal sitting in Uyo Akwa Ibom state. ”
