The Request states that the 11th June documents consist of emails and their attachments received by the Claimants' legal representatives on 11th June 2017, from accounts in the name of sinaogungbade@outlook.com and sinaogungbade@mail.com (Request, para 1). Mr. Oluwasina Ogungbade, who is a member of the Respondent's legal team in this arbitration, denies the authorship of these emails and complains about identity theft of his email accounts. The emails were also sent to numerous other named recipients (including a number of Nigerian media houses) and the Tribunal Secretary, Mr. Benjamin Garel (Request para 1). The Respondent's objection to the Request included the unfortunate accusation that the Claimants' legal representatives had fabricated the emails and its attached documents (Objection, para 2).
