Victor Uwaje Is Not Senator Andy Uba's Former Lawyer But A Blackmailer - Media Aide

Senator Andy Uba of the All Progressives Congress, APC, representing Anambra South and a governorship aspirant in the state has denied that one Victor Uwaje claiming to be his former lawyer is not but a cheap blackmailer who had severally attempted to extort money from him through blackmail,

Mr. Victor Uwaje had claimed in a publication on Premium Times, an online newspaper that he was a former lawyer to Senator Uba, who had helped him in several legal matters both home and abroad.

But Senate Uba in a Press Statement signed by his Media Consultant, Comrade Dr. Ajibade Sunday and made available to News Punch, debunked his claims in its entirety. He said at no time did Victor Uwaje was his lawyer or solicited on my behalf on any legal matter or matters either in Nigeria or abroad.

The statement further stated that Victor Uwaje is a known blackmailer who had severally attempted to extort money from him through blackmailing his reputable name.

The Statement reads:

"Our attention has been drawn to a publication on Premium Times where one Victor Uwaje claiming to be a former lawyer to Senator Emmanuel Nnamdi Uba, (APC, Anambra South); we hereby unequivocally restate that at no time did the bearer, Victor Uwaje was a lawyer or solicited on behalf of Senator Uba on any legal matter or matters either in Nigeria or abroad."

"Victor Uwaje is no person than a known blackmailer who had attempted severally to extort money from me through blackmailing. In fact,  Senator Andy Uba has written a petition against him (Victor Uwaje) bothering on blackmailing to the Inspector General of the Nigerian Police."

"The public is here urged to disregard his claims, that they are nothing but false claims aimed at blackmailing me; that very soon, appropriate legal actions shall be instituted against him."

"Thanks"
