A Senior Advocate of Nigeria and a counsel to the Nigerian Senate, Paul daudu, SAN, has denied a letter making the rounds on social media, which issued an advisory that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan should, “refrain from attempting to resume legislative duties until the enrolled order is released and properly reviewed by all parties.”
Daudu, in a short post made on his Facebook page, said:
Dear Members of the Public, please ignore the purported open letter written to J.S. Okutepa SAN making the rounds on social media. It is unsigned and not issued by me. I do not know the source of that letter.
I hold Learned Senior Advocate of Nigeria J.S. Okutepa, SAN, in such high regard as a Father and mentor in the Profession, and as such, could not have written him an open letter when I have unfettered access to him.
As has been my training, I have always restricted my arguments, rightly or wrongly, to the Courtroom.
Thank you, God Bless

Interesting development! Paul Daudu denies writing the letter about Senator Natasha, and his statement seems to imply that if he needed to communicate with J.S. Okutepa, SAN, he would do so directly rather than through an open letter. Let’s see how this unfolds!
