Legal Representative Denies Claims in Ongoing Dispute
A formal response has been issued by the legal counsel of Sani Mouhamadou, addressing assertions made in a recent press release attributed to the legal team of Maxime Eko Eko Léopold.
The statement, released through the legal representative Me Mélissa Nyoth, categorically refutes claims that Sani Mouhamadou referenced the Direction Générale de la Recherche Extérieure (DGRE) in a July 2026 communiqué. The document asserts that no such mention was made, suggesting the allegations stem from a misunderstanding.
The controversy began when a press release circulated on social media alleged that Sani Mouhamadou had implicated Maxime Eko Eko Léopold in interactions with state institutions in 2020. The legal team of Maxime Eko Eko Léopold responded by asserting that it was their client who initially sought out Sani Mouhamadou’s services, only to terminate contact after reviewing his professional credentials.
In the rebuttal, Me Mélissa Nyoth emphasizes that Sani Mouhamadou’s original statement aimed solely to clarify facts surrounding videos circulated in late July 2026, which allegedly damaged his reputation. The response underscores that no mention of Maxime Eko Eko Léopold was included in the communiqué, reinforcing the position that the allegations are based on misinformation.
Further details provided in the response highlight a documented exchange on February 1, 2020, at 7:09 AM, where Maxime Eko Eko Léopold allegedly reached out to Sani Mouhamadou via messaging, stating an urgent need for assistance. This correspondence, according to the response, substantiates Sani Mouhamadou’s claim that he was approached first, contrary to assertions that he initiated contact.
The legal representative also stresses that Sani Mouhamadou holds an officially recognized certification from the Institut des Hautes Études de Défense Nationale, which validates his expertise in the field. Following the circulation of the disputed press release, an informal amicable resolution was attempted but yielded no progress.
Me Mélissa Nyoth concludes the statement by urging the immediate retraction of the press release within 48 hours, warning that failure to comply will result in legal action. The response underscores the necessity of defending Sani Mouhamadou’s professional reputation and integrity in the face of what is deemed defamatory accusations.
