Annan's son says he's been treated unfairly

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) -- U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan's son believes he has been unfairly criticized in an official report on the awarding of a U.N. oil-for-food contract to a company for which he was worked, his lawyers said in a statement Wednesday.
Kojo Annan, who lives and works in Lagos, directed all inquiries to his legal team when contacted through a friend who plays rugby with him in his upscale residential neighborhood, Ikoyi.
His London lawyers said in a that he "believes the report is unfair in its criticism of him ... and is currently considering what options are open to him in relation to the report."
A colleague at the Lagos offices of the oil-trading firm for which he now works, Petroleum Projects International, said Kojo Annan was unavailable Wednesday.
A unidentified friend said that Kojo Annan's office at Petroleum Projects International was decorated with expensive artwork and that Kojo Annan drove a luxury sport utility vehicle.
