He said “there was an attempt because there is a lawyer – and I’m sorry I won’t mention his name, of course, he may know it's him, maybe he is watching us – who is close to Anas and who knew that this job was going on, and I think he went and did some ‘Okro mouth’, so, somebody now tries to give him money to go and give to Anas".
“The lawyer took the money and was scared to go and deliver it to Anas. So, eventually, he [the lawyer] had to go back to the man and say: ‘[I couldn’t deliver the bribe], take it’. But of course, we have found out. He is a lawyer, very good lawyer, prominent lawyerâ€, Mr Baako added.
