FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LEGAL SUPPORTERS ANNOUNCES ITS OFFICIAL LAUNCH IN NIGERIA WITH A MISSION TO COMBAT SYSTEMIC CORRUPTION THROUGH LEGAL ACTION
London, UK, 27/10/2025
Legal Supporters, a new non-profit organization established to eradicate systemic corruption through strategic legal intervention, today announces its official operational launch within Nigeria.
The organization is founded upon the core principle that the law serves as the most potent instrument for ensuring public accountability and restoring justice. Its operational focus will consist of a three-pronged approach: investigating and exposing corrupt networks, litigating to hold powerful actors legally accountable, and advocating for the strengthening of Nigeria’s legal institutions to prevent future abuses.
The profound and systemic challenge of corruption, defined as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain, continues to undermine democratic governance, distort fair markets, and perpetuate deep social inequalities, thereby eroding the foundational trust necessary for a just society.
Legal Supporters enters this critical landscape with a clear and actionable mandate to translate legal principles into tangible outcomes.
The organization’s Executive Director, Ogbevire Christian Ashaiku (AKA Daddy Kris) stated, “The abuse of power entrusted by the Nigerian people constitutes a profound betrayal that demands a rigorous legal response. Our mission is to systematically dismantle the architectures of corruption by leveraging the courts and the rule of law, thereby transitioning from public outrage to concrete legal victories that reclaim stolen resources and reinforce institutional integrity.”
To achieve its overarching goal of defending the public trust, Legal Supporters will execute its mission through three defined pillars of activity.
The first pillar involves pursuing strategic litigation in precedent-setting cases to recover illicitly acquired public assets and secure judicial accountability.
The second pillar entails conducting detailed investigations to expose the complex mechanisms and enabling systems that facilitate corrupt practices.
The third pillar focuses on legal advocacy aimed at fortifying anti-corruption legislation and bolstering the capacity and independence of judicial bodies.
Recognising that a sustained impact requires collaborative effort, Legal Supporters extends its commitment to work in partnership with civil society organisations, independent media, and all governmental entities genuinely dedicated to the principles of transparency and the rule of law.
To formally inaugurate its operations, the organisation will host a virtual press briefing and expert panel discussion on the 15th of November 2025, under the theme “The Law as a Weapon: Forging a New Front Against Corruption in Nigeria.” The event will feature distinguished legal authorities, anti-corruption advocates, and civic leaders, and member of public
