Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

When Nigerian lawyer Andy Oji took on a three-billion-dollar arbitration in 2019, he thought he was defending his country against deeply flawed and highly questionable claims. What he discovered was a tribunal whose decisions raised serious questions about impartiality, counsel arrangements involving government offices that created apparent conflicts, and a system where challenging impropriety meant becoming its target. For five years, Oji fought-documenting concerning patterns, building an unassailable defence the tribunal couldn't ignore. He worked 8,000 hours. He challenged three distinguished Senior Advocates serving as arbitrators. He refused to accept questionable conduct quietly. On September 6, 2024, after twenty-five months of deliberation, the tribunal that pre-judged the case, which had announced they'd already formed their views before hearing the defence, finally ruled for the defence: complete victory. Nigeria saved three billion dollars. Twenty-nine minutes later, Oji received a disciplinary summons for challenging the arbitrators.This is what happens when one lawyer chooses integrity over institutional acceptance. When challenging impropriety means the system fights back. When winning isn't enough if you expose institutional failures. A legal thriller. A personal crucible. A searing examination of justice in compromised institutions. Based on true events. Names and identifying details have been changed.
