According to the legal practitioner, concrete steps are being taken toward a final resolution between Chinwo and Eezee Tee.
“The parties are genuinely committed to a settlement and have met through their lawyers. By God’s grace, we are confident that a resolution will be reached soon. I am open to providing you more update, but not on social media,” the lawyer said.
“While you graciously extended an invitation for mediation via Instagram, accompanied by a thoughtful follow-up video with one of the parties, several other eminent individuals have also reached out privately to facilitate the process. The legal representatives have met and we are now in the process of formalizing the understanding between the parties.
“Please also take comfort in knowing that, despite your concerns about how messy things may seem, Minister Mercy is navigating this situation with grace and confidence in God,” the lawyer added.
Stephen Akintayo’s resolution style criticised
Chinwo’s legal representative also advised Akintayo to take a step back and reflect on the elementary rules of a mediator.
“It may be beneficial to use AI tools or refer to elementary mediation texts to reassess how you’ve engaged with this matter,” he advised.
The lawyer singled out some comments in a recent statement Akintayo released, in which he disclosed Chinwo failed to turn up for a meeting with Eezee.
“Those encouraging @mercychinwo not to listen to anyone do not have their names dragged daily on social media. It’s Mercy’s name and reputation on the line, not that of the counselors.” and several others—are highly inappropriate and against basic rules of mediation. I hope you are open to constructive feedback,” Chinwo lawyer said.
The lawyer also suggested that Akintayo should not have announced himself as a mediator on social media.
In related news, social media critic VDM also intervened in Mercy Chinwo and Eezee Tee’s fight while vowing to investigate the matter.
