LEGAL practitioner, Prince G. Akitoye, who is being sued for N100Million damages by Chief Gaskin Sobrasuaipiri for allegedly exposing a Will prepared by him has denied the allegations.
Sobrasuaipiri (Claimant) in his writ on Suit No PHC/2518/CS/2020 claimed that Akitoye (Defendant) was unprofessional and negligent in handling the Will and in so doing exposed it, caused him trauma, pains and put his life at risk.
But the Defendant in his Statement of Defense, save for preparing the said Will, denied the Claimant’s claims, describing the suit as a mere act of intimidation and blackmail to deny him outstanding N3.3Million cost for preparing the Will.
