SHOCKING TALE: How Mike Ozekhome Left His Son With Kidnappers To Gain His Freedom


Popular Lagos-based lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, known for representing men who have stolen public funds or caught in one act of corruption or the other, despite the obvious charges of corruption against ex-Governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, he still defended him until Alams finally confessed and was convicted.

Mike Ozekhome is also the lawyer representing Hon Farouk Lawan who was caught on tape collecting a huge some of money from businessman Femi Otedola as bribe. So we were not really surprised when we got the story that Ozekhome struck a deal with the guys who kidnapped him with his son.

The good thing however is that this time Ozekhome entered into a deal that enabled him to secure his life from the den of the dare-devil guys who kidnapped him on August 23, 213.

The revelation is that Ozekhome's son and head of his chamber had gone to secure his release with an amount that is not up to what the guys demanded for, hence they rejected the money. 

The two persons who had gone to secure Ozekhome’s release were said to have told the kidnappers that they couldn’t raise up to the required amount and that only Ozekhome himself could raise such.

Then a deal was struck. Ozekhome pleaded with the kidnappers to take his son and allow him go so that he can raise the money. One week after he was released to go and get the money for his ransom, Ozekhome paid the ransom to the kidnappers and secure the release of his son and head of his chambers.

So, the truth is that Ozekhome was not actually released on September 12 as the media was made to believe as he left their custody about a week earlier. 
Hmmm , Wonders!!!!

Besides establishing connections to a command-and-control server during execution, the malware comes with a range of features that allow it to collect browser passwords, log keystrokes, and run remote commands an...
