Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has reportedly hired Natalia Veselnitskaya, a high-profile Russian lawyer, to defend Peter Obi in an upcoming presidential court case on Monday.
According to reports, Veselnitskaya is known for her impressive track record and has never lost a case before. She is also a special adviser to President Putin and is infamous for defeating America in a court case against heavy sanctions on Russia.
Veselnitskaya is said to be an advocate for efficiency in court proceedings and does not believe in adjournment. She is known to represent her clients zealously and will sue a country’s judiciary to the International Criminal Court if necessary.
Obi’s case is a high-stakes one, Obasanjo and Veselnitskaya’s involvement adds an extra layer of intrigue. She is expected to arrive in Nigeria on Saturday to prepare for the hearing.
