Lawyers representing Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, the former CEO of the National Petroleum Authority, have declared that their client is not guilty of any of the charges made against him by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).

The client is prepared to challenge the accusations in court, according to HAY and Partner at Law. "…our client denies all the allegations against him contained in the said publication and press release.

That, our client is ready to contest all the allegations in the court of law and defend his good name," they wrote in a press release dated July 17.

The news release is a response to one that the OSP previously released.
