Legal response clears sani mouhamadou of claims by eko eko leopold maxime

Legal team denies claims linking Sani Mouhamadou to Maxime Eko Eko

In a formal right of reply issued through his legal representative, Sani Mouhamadou has categorically denied any connection to Maxime Eko Eko Léopold, following allegations made in a press release circulating online.

The statement, issued by attorney Mélissa Nyoth on behalf of her client, clarifies that Mouhamadou’s original press release on August 5, 2026 did not mention Eko Eko’s name. Instead, it addressed concerns raised by videos circulating in late July 2026, which allegedly misrepresented his professional activities.

The legal response further refutes claims that the Directorate General of External Research (DGRE)—a Cameroonian state institution—had engaged Mouhamadou’s services in 2020. According to the rebuttal, Eko Eko’s legal team falsely asserted that Mouhamadou had solicited them for assistance, a claim firmly rejected by Mouhamadou’s legal counsel.

Documented evidence supports Mouhamadou’s position

In an effort to set the record straight, the response highlights an initial communication from Eko Eko dated February 1, 2020, in which he allegedly reached out to Mouhamadou via messaging with an urgent request for support. This, the legal team argues, substantiates Mouhamadou’s claim that Eko Eko approached him first, rather than the other way around.

The document also underscores Mouhamadou’s professional credentials, including certification from the Institute of Advanced National Defense Studies, reinforcing the legitimacy of his expertise.

Demand for correction and potential legal action

Despite expressing respect for Eko Eko, Mouhamadou’s legal team has issued a formal demand for the immediate withdrawal of the disputed press release within 48 hours. Failure to comply, they warn, will result in legal proceedings for defamation, as the accusations—if unaddressed—are deemed damaging to Mouhamadou’s reputation.

The statement concludes with a stern warning: “Any continued dissemination of false claims will be met with decisive legal action.”
