Inibehe Effiong Slams Peter Okoye Over Social Media Trial of Jude Okoye

Human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, has expressed his dissatisfaction with Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P, for taking to social media to try his brother, Jude Okoye, in the court of public opinion. Effiong, who previously served as Jude's lawyer, emphasized that Jude has not been found guilty of any crime and is therefore entitled to the presumption of innocence as enshrined in the constitution. He further stated that Peter's actions on social media are contradictory to his sworn testimonies in ongoing court cases, where he is the complainant. Effiong's concern stems from the fact that Peter is using his social media platform to sway public opinion, while the court cases are still pending. The narratives being pushed by Peter on social media, according to Effiong, are at variance with the facts that have been established under cross-examination in court. This development has sparked a heated debate about the role of social media in the administration of justice.
