Festus Keyamo is the lawyer representing
Psquare and the altercation amongst the brothers happened in his office. He's
released a statement on the on-going feud. Read below...
Our attention has been drawn to
the on-going feud between the Psquare brothers in online, print and
electronic media. We have also been inundated with calls from the media to
authenticate the correspondence Peter Okoye sent to our office, indicating his
intention to terminate the contract between the brothers for various reasons
and the online video showing a purported scuffle between the brothers in our
Chambers.
Firstly, while it is obvious that
none of these materials were released from our Chambers, we are thoroughly
saddened and embarrassed by these developments. As their close friends and
lawyers over many years, we have done our very best to manage their differences
over time and very prominent personalities have been invited in the past to
intervene.
We are well aware that we have a
duty to keep the details of their disagreements confidential, so we shall say
nothing here on the issues at stake. But since the disagreement is now in the
public domain, and our name has been dragged into the fray, we wish to appeal
to members of the public to refrain from jumping into uninformed conclusions
about this feud.
None of these talented brothers
is at fault. None of them is also wholly justified and correct in their
individual positions. We also wish to state categorically that, contrary to
widely held opinions, none of their wives is at fault. In fact, the wives have
kept their respectable and dignified distances from all the issues
involved. THEY HAVE NEVER INTERFERED in any way.
We also want to state that whilst
all the three brothers may have genuine grievances, nobody’s life is at risk.
All the various incidents that happened in our Chambers (some as late at 12
midnight and 2am and one of which was captured in the online video) arose
out of various meetings that were genuine attempts at resolving their
differences. Whatever was said by all of them that were provocative were done
in the heat of passion, emotion and anger. In fact, the incident in the video
circulating online happened sometime around May, 2016. After all those
arguments, we all still sat down and signed agreements and we were all happy.
So, we appeal to everyone to
please grant the Okoye family the privacy, prayers and support that they need
at these trying times. I have also appealed to all of them not to grant further
interviews at this point so as not to escalate the issues further. Whatever is
going on is the usual siblings’ rivalry experienced in most families. It is
nothing unusual.
We are of the strong opinion that
the brothers would eventually put away their differences and come back
stronger.
Thank you.
Yours most trusted,
FESTUS KEYAMO, SAN, FCIArb (UK)
