Human right Lawyer and public commentator, Victor Giwa, has written to the president of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, notifying him of what he describes as subversion of justice, abuse of office and weaponization of the Court by Asabe Waziri, a staff of NNPCL.
Also fingered in the plot are senior lawyer, Joe Agi, SAN, and the AIG Legal of the Nigeria police force.
In a letter dated 26th November, 2025, the lawyer appealed to the NBA president to intervene in perversion of justice taking place in his trial before His Lordship Hon Jude Onwuezuruke in the FCT High Court sitting in Apo.
The lawyer accused Asabe Waziri of taking over the case of the trial of alleged Forgery and Impersonation of Awa Kalu letter head paper.
“Asabe Waziri is the complainant, she funds the trial, and communicates with the Court on the proceedings", he said.
Awa Kalu SAN has never reported any case of forgery of his letter headed paper; the Senior lawyer has in letter dated 5th of June 2025 written to the IGP that he has not made any complaint of forgery against Victor Giwa .
Giwa called on the NBA president not to stand aloof while the judiciary under his watch is ridiculed and brought to disrepute by the likes of Asabe Waziri.
The letter reads “…My trial is now between Asabe Waziri, Joe Agi, SAN and some persons in the Office of the Chief Judge of FCT who have now weaponized the court against me.
The Honourable Court has refused to recuse itself from my case even in the light of my complaints of loss of confidence in the honourable Court and His Lordship descending into the arena by reading its ruling without me arguing my application before him at the last sittings”.
