The IPOB leader’s defense team was led by human rights attorney Mike Ozekhome (SAN), who urged the court to dismiss the remaining accusations due to their lack of credibility.

Ozekhome expressly requested that the appellate court revisit the trial court’s April 8 decision, which only dismissed eight of the fifteen accusations. Additionally, he maintained that the accusation FG made against him lacked legal support.
