In a message posted on his social media handle on Sunday, Ahmednassir described his critics as primitive idiots who were only interested in defaming him.

"These primitive idiots think that by endlessly defaming me I will chicken out of the case...why don't they argue their case in court...idiots...my client's case will be argued and won in court...see you in court,'' he posted in his twitter handle.

The lawyer's critics argue that he previously influenced a court verdict owing to his popularity in the legal profession. 

Ahmednassir is representing a former Northeastern governor in an election petition filed at the law courts following the disputed 2017 gubernatorial elections.
