In a recent development at the High Court, defense attorney Andrew O’Kola has formally requested a public apology from Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Clement Joseph following a heated verbal exchange last Friday. O’Kola alleges that he was subjected to an unwarranted and public verbal assault by Joseph in the presence of court staff, media representatives, and bystanders. The incident reportedly unfolded in a hallway where Joseph criticized a letter O’Kola had written, accusing him of “doing too much” before escalating into a loud and confrontational outburst. O’Kola described the incident as “deeply regrettable,” emphasizing that such behavior erodes public trust in the justice system. He reiterated his commitment to professional integrity and fearless client representation while advocating for mutual respect within the legal community. Despite the altercation, O’Kola reaffirmed his dedication to the rule of law and independent legal advocacy, insisting that Joseph’s conduct necessitates a public apology.
