Harrison Gwamnishu's lawyer criticises VeryDarkMan

Favour was, however, not pleased that VeryDarkMan was asking his client to tell his side of the controversial Edo kidnapping saga.

The barrister questioned what right VeryDarkMan had to demand an explanation from his client and further labelled the internet personality an illiterate.

The legal practitioner also faulted VeryDarkMan's earlier claim that he was behind the arrest of Harrison, saying he never saw the internet personality at the station. The lawyer's statement partly read:

"Like I have always said, it is my opinion, that there is nothing wrong with public accountability. I don't have any issue with that.
"But, VeryDarkMan, I have issues with your audacity. You want Harrison to come and tell you or explain to the world what happened, at your instance? Because you are what? Please, who are you, VeryDarkMan?
"I don't understand. Look at the audacity you are using to mandate Harrison to come and tell the world what happened. Because if he doesn't tell the world, what would happen?
"I am tempted to call you an illiterate. It is either you are an illiterate or your mental state should be examined.
"Because you claimed to put a call across to the police allegedly, that Harrison was arrested at your instance, that is your claim.
"But I never saw you at the station when you came to write a statement to that effect. I never. And now you are telling Harrison to come and tell us what happened..."
