Bobrisky: Why VDM refused to speak

Defending VDM’s stand, Adeyanju said since Bobrisky sent a lawyer to represent him, his client has also decided to speak through his counsel though he is present at the joint committee hearing.

“He has not said he is not going to speak. At least, we came prepared with almost everything that is needed by this committee here. We have even come with additional evidence that is not available online. We have come with everything.

“He is not saying, I don’t want to assist the committee or I don’t want to talk. He is saying because that person who should be here is not here, who has sent a lawyer to represent him or her, that he too is not going to talk directly, that he is going to talk through his counsel. That’s all he is saying and nothing more.”
