In legal proceedings, when a lead counsel withdraws from a case, all associated applications and processes must also be withdrawn, requiring the case to be refiled from scratch. This highlights the importance of professional conduct and cooperation among legal representatives, as internal conflicts and ego-driven decisions can significantly delay justice for clients.

Verydarkman needs to hear the Bar Marshal interview why he withdrew the bail application for JCAdded:
On the last adjourn date, I was the lead council to justice crack and uh we know the effort we've made so far to see that we get justice for justice crack. I remember I was the one that um wrote to the minister of justice uh to discontin this matter. I alongside Mr. Meshaware and some comrades met with the minister of justice, the DPPF and the papac of the ministry of justice to see that uh we get justice for justice crack. We followed up on this matter for quite a while. We're unfortunately in court today. Uh another lawyer who obviously was by far Junior appeared in court and said he has instructions of some process to lead or to represent Justice Crack.
And I said, well, that that's that that's okay. You know, he has a right to representation. I said, that's okay. He has a right to representation. But I've been hearing, you know, some rumors.
Although he never approached me before the court proceedings commenced. He waited till the moment of appearance to say that if another lawyer is in a matter and I intend to proceed to take over such a matter the duty of me is to approach that other lawyer and say have instructions of so so and so to proceed with this matter I didn't just commit to this matter on my own it was the wife of justice crack that reached out to me to represent her husband where the husband was ceased in Abuja here it was on that basis that I took up this matter pro bono I have never taken a kobu from anybody respect of this matter. I have defended justice crack from day one at the risk and expense of my life and liberty free of charge. I have filed matters in this case free of charge for most of the high-profile cases you see that I do in Abuja today. I do them proono. They don't pay me. So I had a vacation till the end of this month but I caught the vacation short on account of this case.
I came back to Nigeria for this matter.
But when the young he did not approach me. He just stood up in court and appeared and announced his appearance and just said this is not the procedure.
The last time Marshall led this proceedings >> according to >> according to according to legal standard this is not the procedure. The last time it was Marshall that led in this proceedings. Why are we having it here today? He has of some persons to appear for the defendant. And I told the judge just say well Marshall now you have a choice. are you going to withdraw your appearance which is the normal thing to do in such a matter. I said well my lord in view of what has transpired I respectfully withdraw my appearance with my colleague who appeared with me and once you withdraw an appearance in a matter the consequential orders must be made which includes every process you file matter goes with it.
>> Can I ask one question?
>> Yes. According to what you have said now you've told us that most of the cases that you follow is based on humanitarian services >> purely humanitarian.
>> Okay. Now if we do humanitarian service to justice understand the circumstances and allow the case to continue based on >> the case continued the judge >> no I mean the the bail argument today >> the bail argument wouldn't have proceeded once you the procedure is this once a judge withdraws his appearance in a matter the the the applications filed there too they go with it so the court simply said having withdrawn your appearance your applications goes.
>> Okay. Sorry.
>> And that was the right >> all the effort that you've been working for the past week has been. So now we are standing.
>> Nothing has been aborted. The court was gracious enough to hold >> from the case officially.
>> No, officially I've withdrawn from the court proceedings. It doesn't mean we will not continue agitations for justice crack release.
>> Sorry. Sorry sir. It simply means you decided to withdraw today. It means we have to start a fresh again with the bell condition or the bell agreement. I don't know the legal thing that >> there is no such thing as start from where you >> the matter continues as a matter of fact the court clearly stated it in court that upon what happened today in court that a view of the withdrawal of Marshall based on the application of the other lawyer that it simply means they have to file a new fresh >> I know you will not tell us I think it is humanly right to ask the Do you have any tips from anywhere or anybody adise you against the case and all that so that we should know what happen? I know you will not tell us.
>> I was I was I was in Europe yesterday.
>> Okay.
>> I cut short my stay in Europe yesterday to come back to Nigeria for this. If I have an interest in this matter, I will not be in Nigeria today. If I have a contrary interest in this matter, I will not stand in court to move the bill application in court today. They never even serve the counter on us. They just showed me in front and I was telling the judge that your lordship despite the failure to serve the counter we still intend to proceed because we believe that we can make arguments.
>> I'm not withdrawing from the I'm withdrawing from the case as the lead council in this matter. But what we're saying is this I was informed there are so many behind the scenes you know the I think principally what necessitated uh today's uh dichotomy as far as legal position is concerned I think it's just the anger with uh with vidian >> and it's quite unfortunate I often tell people those of us in the left we are very few we're endangered it does not serve any any purpose to see that the people who are endangered are fighting amongst themselves. We have a bigger and a major enemy which is the Nigerian state that has decided to ensure that in this country democracy does not strife the freedom and liberty of Nigerians are not respected. This is the bigger major foe we are confronted with and as a person I often insist that are concerned about the fact >> when I'm done you ask questions you don't ask questions when I'm talking that it does not serve any purpose to see that leftists either m leftist or hardcore leftist or revolutionary leftist are fighting needless fight.
What is the basis of this altercations and fight that VDM decided to ventilate a grievance against the person who has offended him and some person felt he shouldn't have gone that route? If one of you decided to to ventilate his grievances in a particular manner you're not comfortable with the right thing to do is to reach out to such a person and said comrade why not resolve it in this other manner. And I told them clearly that time when this thing transpired that you do not cut off your nose in order to spite. How do they even make that proverb? But however that prover is being made, you do not fight your friends in the presence of your enemy and fight him to finish and termination or or or destroy him. So it was on that basis of this uh conflict of interest I mean making a mountain a mountain out of a mohill that I warranted uh today's episode in court but on a personal note I do not hold grudges and I do not have any personal grievance against anybody I was willing and ready to proceed with the matter today even despite failure to serve a counter but upon the decision of some of our comrades to ensure that another lawyer comes to proceed did. I willfully withdrew my appearance and the court decided to strike out the bill application that we filed so that a new one can be filed and they can proceed on Monday. As far as this matter is concerned, we still want justice for Justice Crack for not relenting on the on on the agitations that Justice Crack must be freed. He's one of us. He's our brother. He's our comrade and we are concerned about his liberty and that must been ensured.
>> At least by now your expectation is very very clear.
Now Masha withdrew his uh bail application. Why? You remember in the beginning when all these all these riff wraps they were shouting, protesting, making noise, VDM came into the picture and VDM said we are writing um a a a bail uh we are filing a case filing a petition to the DSS to demand the release of Justice Krak which Masha Abubaka did and he posted on his Instagram page. Everybody knew. So fast forward to today, Masha Abubaka left Turkey and came down for justice crack sick only for him to get to court. Some other lawyers are saying that they want to be the lead. How do you want to be the lead for a bail application that I filed? It doesn't make sense. Okay, fine. If you if those um lawyers really really really want Masha to be free, won't they allow Masha to just handle everything? No, only for this only for Masha to get angry because of that and withdrew his bail application. Then I'm seeing this this Mama P this random what what nonsense and the other nonsense people there coming down to start talking rubbish. Let me tell you, you know what? Why they are pained? They are pained that we will begin to hail VDM.
That oh if not for VDM, Justice Kra would have been released. THAT IS WHY they want to influence the decision of the lawyers. Only God know what they have been saying behind closed door.
Tell me will Masha abandon his trip from Turkey for Justice Clark's sake only to come back and withdraw it. Make her make sense now. No my people make this make sense when we do that kind of thing. If not that only God knows what these people have caused Mash Abubaka for him to take that decision for Mash Abubaka to take that decision. I I'm sure he must have been pained. He must have been pained.
This country can't go far. This country can't go far at all with all this set of people. We can't go far. We can't go far at all. NEVER. MAN VERY GOOD walk for come back Niger because of this justice crack matter then he reach court arrange with another lawyer inform lawyer say represent justice crack for court now everybody now they shout VERY DARK MAN VERY DARK MAN THIS VERY DARK MAN THAT OKAY NOW VERY DARK man the the application I don't understand now this hate one for our president very dark man it's really annoying When lawyer go fight for under application release close do again call this thing. Breaking news guys the judge only recognized the lawyer that fight for the bay application which is Marsha.
So yesterday from to Nigeria just to be ahead of this case to release him today on getting here today and have a new lawyer for the lawyer. So guys on Wednesday they told Masha that this is their new lawyer that is going to the case and he just let him know that he recognized Masha and Mash will be the one to fight for the case and they were back and for allow to do his work. So without anger mash dropped the case he dropped the fight. So because of this bunch of hypocrites because of people greed I want I want I let justice crack my lawyer justice for justice for mash. Pleaseice waiting.
I don't know lawyer you money stop you.
>> Please can you react to what has just happened in the court today? What do you think about this development?
>> What happened in court today? As unfortunate as it is, it only goes to show us that we have a lot of work to do. Not every person who criticizes a bad government is interested in a better country. Some people only traffic as long as the system is bad because it puts them in business. Let it be very clear. I have been with justice throughout this issue. Justice's lawyer, Justice Crack lawyer is Professor Sam Amadi.
When he came to court on Monday, he had another engagement and he was not robed because we got information that he would be arraigned that morning. So he was not robed but he was in court. So since he was not robed, he had to call another lawyer barista Clemens to stand in for justice with Barister Feal. Both of them are also senior to barista Marshall.
Marshall came into the court and said he will be a part of this. By the time they got into court, Marshall said he wanted to lead. Barister Clement said I am the lead counselor. I took instruction from professor Sam to stand. He said no that he needed he wanted to lead and but Mr. Clement and Femy said because they didn't want to cause issue the judge was already asking what is going on. They stood down and said he should leave but they appeared as co- councils for justice. When they finish and say put up a bail application they came out together but Mr. Fei called the wife. We we went to bring her. They did a deposition. They did the bail application together. Marshall and Fei.
Marshall put his name on the application and filed and submitted and nobody allowed thought it was there was any you know mischievous intent because of course they were working together. Now prior to now the bail application kept stalling throughout last week. Femy had to write a reminder to the judge pleading that the date should please be given with all the work we did throughout last week. We kept coming to court. There is a lot that we have not been talking on this case because I don't want to join issues. I know all that is going on on social media.
Whatever that happens, we got a date and it was fixed for today, Thursday. And then Marshall came to court and the the judge had her lordship justice Abdul Malik said who is the lead council so that we can you can mention and then mention the other co people who are appearing. Barrera Fei Balog stood up and introduced himself. Marshall said no, he must introduce himself as the lead council. The judge asked justice say okay who should lead? Said Fe can lead that they are working together.
Marshall said no. He took exception to it and told the judge that if he's not going to lead the defense of justice, he wants to withdraw the bail application because he took his own name. The judge looked at him and said he want to withdraw everything you have filed on behalf. The judge was shocked at the action today in court. Marshall said everything should be taken out. And then when in fact the judge wanted to even give she said that out of my message that I'm going to allow you to come back. She actually cautioned justice on the kind of councils that he that that represented him. She made certain statements I don't want to say because we don't I don't want to join issues.
The judge said that I want to give you a near date. You should be brought back tomorrow but by tomorrow they can't do service to DSS and all other parties. So she said 48 hours which will be by Saturday but by the next sitting day which is Monday please he should be brought back to court so that he can hear his bail and commen. And then she said other things which of course we'll know by next week. So that was what happened and then we worked out. So shar and everybody was trying to talk to Marshall and his words and statement to everybody.
>> I have him on record.
>> He pushed justice pushed the wife away and said that it is he said that that it is his bail application. It is not our own document. Meanwhile since when he he filed that bail last week Monday everybody has been trying to get a copy of that bail application because we wanted to ensure we fast track it.
Barrera >> Barister Marshall what am I hearing?
Barrista Masha.
No, no, no. What is this I'm hearing?
Barrista Masha, the same you where VDM say, okay, you were going to Nigeria because of justice crack.
If you ask me, Baris Masha, whoever is the lead is not the problem.
The problem or the main bowl of contention is that this guy should be released.
Or is it that it will add to your promotion? I don't understand. I heard sh was there too. You be show lawyer.
Nobody should bring VM into this matter now because the narration spread down and say okay now VDM not even do but was there Masha I don't know I would like to hear your own part but what Randy Peter has said if this is true I'm disappointed I'm disappointed because justice crowd don't suffer enough now justice crowd don't suffer enough Justice should be released and it should have been released today if not for the action even justice actually pointed after the judge don't ask okay justice who do you want to be your lead lawyer justice pointed by Mr. Fair me or that's his name, right? And then you said no.
Creating confusion inside the courtroom knowing that it will cause justice harm.
Ah, no. No, no, no. I don't like this bar. I don't like this. I don't like this. I don't like this one at all.
Justice should have been released today.
Justice should have been released today.
That guy has suffered enough from nothing.
Now he has to spend two more days for sir because of your action.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't like this papa. I don't like this one. Me, I like you. Me, I like you. But for this action where you just do for inside court all because you were not given the role of the lead lawyer. I don't like this one at all because I be meant to understand that you wrote your bail letter also wrote his own. The bottom line is that this guy should be released. It doesn't matter whose who letter they see. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Baris Masha. No, Barry Masha.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So, this guy is going to spend two more days now because of this. No, no. Questions that I'm going to ask. Who hired you?
Who hired you to be justice lawyer? Now shi because I know say shi they use you sh now your boss kind of was this shuri because justice girl get lawyer no bar but masha no no no no no no no >> all right so I just opened my Instagram now and the first news I'm seeing on Dave play blog is an interview by Randy Peters about the case of justice crack the summary of the interview by Randy Peters is that barrera masha labubakar withdrew his bail application for justice crack in open court today and for that reason justice this crack would no longer be released today because it was scheduled to be released today. It could no longer be released today and the case have been adjourned for a be hearing on Monday and I'm asking myself like what the [ __ ] happened. This man left yesterday because of this case. I tried to call by Mr. Marshall the phone said not even just show calling calling because only WhatsApp call. I called monster boy. I told M if you call Masha direct make you call me make know they go on you know because this guy we kept he was talking about this case in short mash start with this matter of this case say the case don't come up the case soon come up like day before yesterday kept on talking about talking about yesterday night till yesterday when they come booked the flight that flight they booked it a night before you know how expensive that flight be do you understand they booked it and then he left surprisingly this morning I thought the next news I will see is that justice crack have been released do you understand now again I went back again to listening to Randy Peters intensively. And to be very honest, all I can see here is pride, ego, and malice from everybody that was in that court.
All of you just went there to go and make a mess of yourself because of pride, ego, malice. Now, according to Randy Peters, he said that the reason why uh Marshall withdrew the bill application for Justice Crack is because Marshall wanted to be the lead council for Justice Crack, but they already have a lawyer. That Justice Crack already have a lawyer. Do you understand? Okay.
The main goal that to release justice crack that is the main goal to release justice crack. Let's assume now I never hear from Marshall but let's put for now the blame we put on Marshall for now we put the blame on Marshall right so you people are in court to secure bail for justice crack and next thing barr lawyer say lead mash argue you come argue so judge ask question say justice crack who going to lead justice say lawyer but mgree because m file for that bill application and for This same case master travel all the way from to come I seen a push and the main goal is to release justice crack why I not leave and make it just then when he come out this one it's the goal the goal is to release justice crack as the stop and say if you truly want release the boy if you want the boy to go home why didn't you say okay masha do because two wrongs don't make it right two people head no feel the hearts together now who they suffer And I just describe suffer when I love him so much carrying P go court the master to prove stubborn because I will understand m stubbornness even though I was still fing because what is there your presence have been there oh yeah no problem do no problem even though I came all the way this application but no life come no problem do you understand but I SEE NO CONCRETE TAKE COME down from us because of his own pride I don't know what don't happen for court maybe don't show body language maybe we don't talk some kind things here but if I truly WANT TO LISTEN WHY DIDN'T YOU PEOPLE JUST LET HIM DO THE thing but then again as I was listening to Randy Peters towards the end I heard something somebody said very that man I want the glory I've never seen a human right no matter your leaders in various cases glory So let me guess the only reason why you people were dragging with Marshall is because you people believe that if Marshall come a very dark man go take the glory in a nutshell cuz for that person to say it out loud it means a lot of you have agreed. So the reason why you people no longer want Barista Marshall on the case is because Barista Marshall is affiliated and associated with very dark man. Barister Marshall and very dark man did talk together. So I believe say if masha now the front at the other lead council now mash will take the glory and for that reason pride ego mies when I start to fight for god we make justice crack no come out. So just because you think very dark man wants the glory. What glory? What are we dragging?
What are we dragging? I keep asking myself what are we dragging? What?
What? I know I know justice crack personally.
Personally I know him. We talk come talk for bag. H only god knows how many time how many people I don't talk for this justice crack matter. Holy god know the circle don't go sit down. Why not supposed to sit down because of justice crack matter. Holy knew the effort put but by the grace of God get people think it's about glory what glory do I need with justice crack news for me when I don't get tell me whether you like it or not whether you like it or not almost all of social media influence you know reach if that one be the problem I don't need it I don't need it.
Masha was a guy which day but now because he go very dark man glory we need what glory God always god always my ancestors are behind me see the way even the way Peter started it that some people they say they want the betterment of the country but they benefiting from the go shut up your mouth all of you and they say that some people don't want Nigeria because they're benefiting anybody today that speak for Nigeria if Nigeria was good would not be speaking They always like to say that nonsense.
You people come out every time to say you want to protest for this. Some of you are known for this cause. If the country was good, would they know you?
At least now I don't talk. If Nigeria good before the actor, movie actor, I'm good.
For some reason, they make it about very dark man now. All of myself was the hate. Why I refuse to associate myself with you people? Because I don't trust and I don't believe in you people.
I know you people's templates. I will stay far. You see one thing about originality. Even the audience know you cannot fake it. The audience know.
There's a reason why I have more followers than you people. There's a reason why I command more respect than you people.
Anyways, I'll speak to Mr. Marshall. But I don't carry the case. Go Monday. You don't build application continue so don't see the power get now because if not saying push before for the matter in get power to withdraw that's just the truth after the president don't successfully do all these things I want it's not for me it has nothing to do with me and I beat my chest say the lawyers I want use I don't know them no disrespect to them man shall have more success more wins in the federal court than them shall have more influence than THEM AS I KNOW THE law than them. I don't care who they are.
One place my lawyer BAD my three sons they don't like their name for social media BAD well for they enjoy you don't help them fight for bail application before leave them do for TURKEY AND I TELL HIM YOU KNOW I told him he said they call her for Nigeria people they tell man sir you to come. You need to be here. You know that you have you are the one that mash no chop life good steak now I I chop steak yesterday now your life stick for the people say okay now maybe your problem you cut thies soon cut thighs mash you need to stay far because all these small minions you know we get I mean responsible people will love You see all these roaches anyways say now the boy come if not all of say okay the interest of justice crack but because of malice envy black heart that take smelling shut up your mouth rubbish like I said when I will continue the lane and I knew new thing. I'm going to go learn those new things in the hard way if people don't use your head to calculate. Now on Monday, >> so this is the update concerning justice case today at federal high court. I would like you to watch this video and see what really happened. Before I was thinking that show is a man as in his words will hold water, but I never knew say he behaves like this. Honestly, as a matter of fact, in fact, watch this video first. Shame all of you come out because of a young man like now.
Did you see what he displayed here? So, as I was saying before, I was thinking that Sho is a kind man as in a man way in one go hold water. I never knew he behaved this way. As a matter of fact, the way people we are calling this show a race name, he's supposed to be in the office discussing with the people who put um justice crack inside this situation and his voice will be outside saying free justice crack free justice crack now then he will say from inside calm down I'm in the office that is what I expected someone like show the way people rate him I never knew he behaved this way. Oh, this one shock me. So this man no get level in this case as inh well what will I say but I never expected that he will behave this way in this court today honestly he's supposed to be telling these guys calm down I'm in the office I'm with the is what we expected from him is it not true please don't mind my news now wow so guys the second video is Randy Peter came and handed Justice Clark's child over to him and was carrying the child.
This one really penned me. Oh yeah, let's watch it.
is ready. This is >> justice.
We We love you. We love you. They say we love you.
God bless you. Don't worry, you cannot crack justice.
>> Honestly, this is a child that the father supposed to be in the house when he completed or she completed one year, but he was inside custody. What did he did? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just he spoke for the military. Randy Peters, kudos to you. You are really trying for Justice CR family. When this baby completed one year, I saw mama P and Randy Peter, they went to their house with birthday cake. That is so awesome.
And today he also brought his baby for him to help his baby. Randy Peters, may God bless you. Honestly, you're really trying your best. But show as they have adjoined this matter till Monday. Please learn how to behave because everything not be by G by at least show and his guys I beg no use go make justice crack spend more than the days or weeks he's supposed to be in custody. This is my little analysis. So please
