Suspected billionaire kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, a.k.a Evans, no longer have a lawyer for his criminal and civil matters.

Evans’ former counsel, Olukoya Ogungbeje, Friday withdrew his representation, citing personal reasons.

Ogungbeje, who represented Evans in his multiple kidnapping, murder and attempted murder trials at the Lagos High Court and two civil suits at the Federal High Court in Lagos, cited “personal reasons” for his decision.

In a June 13 letter made available to The Nation, the lawyer claimed that he and his colleagues in the matter had suffered threats to their lives.


He said: “For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state categorically that we have fought a good fight this far despite repeated and sustained threats to my life and my defence lawyers.


“I dare say we have no regrets whatsoever having conducted the criminal charges involving our client this far.

“For the sake of history, we have been able to enrich the basic principles of our criminal jurisprudence, especially the principle premised on ‘An accused person being presumed innocent until the contrary is proved’ no matter the public opinion and criticism”.

Ogungbeje also claimed that his team kept the Lagos State Prosecution team on its toes in the art of forensic, proper and thorough investigation and prosecution of the accused persons.

Evans was arrested on June 10, 2017 in his Magodo, Lagos mansion.

He is currently facing five criminal charges before three Lagos High Court judges, Justice Hakeem Oshodi, Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo and Justice Adedayo Akintoye.


In the case before Justice Hakeem Oshodi which is expected to resume on June 22, Evans, Uche Amadi, Ogechi Uchechukwu, Okwuchukwu Nwachukwu, Chilaka Ifeanyi and Victor Aduba are facing a two-counts of conspiracy and kidnapping of one Mr Donatus Dunu who was the last victim allegedly kidnapped by the group before their arrest in June 2017.

The lawyer(s) have done well by dropping him.

I still blame the Nigeria press for romanticizing this deadly murderer called Evan's. Truth is, the guy is a deadly murderer,as shown with the way they killed the Police escort of that transport magnate.

He has killed a lot of people.

But Newspapers,blogs and forums started treating him like a rockstar,and for a time he( Evan's) got carried away with the media hype,and even sued the government to release his fleet of trucks, forgetting the crimes he was even arrested for.

Shame on any human defending this murderer.
Shame on anybody that has an iota of pity for this killer.

Mathew 5 vs 38= An Eye For An Eye.

Stupid nd nonsense lawyer!



He just allowed himself to be used by the devil...


I wonder what he has been trying to prove in court...


Anyway the truth behind the scene is that Evans' money don finish!

The guy don milk evans finish

Money don finish, Evans kno fit pay well again. Issorai

so that evil blood sucker is still alive?

That blunder watered down the entire article

Dont sell your birthright for a piece of cake.

Nawa ooooo
Check my SIGNATURE

Iran just won the world cup
See celebration

Mtcheww person wey suppose don paain since

Evans' case hasn't been concluded..
what a judiciary.

Just end his case and hang him.....

Something he should have done since.. What is there to fight?? Dude is a kidnapper and everyone knows it!! Evans should have been sentenced straight up

BTW.. Tecno Spark K9 plus for sale

Check out https://www.nairaland.com/4562304/tecno-spark-k9-plus-sale

He should result to self defense then.

Since his lawyers have chosen to be cowards.

BTW Evans' case is sure gonna linger for nothing less than eight years.


I was granted bail in 2013 after being arrested and then sued before a judge in that Ikeja HC.
I've since spent over 180k all along just to prove that I didn't stole Pastor Joshua's 21k.
5 years on, no end in sight.

#ThisIsNigeria

Really?

Evans can never comout from jail....just dey dash d lawya money for nothin ...

Dude looks fresher, even in prison! He's not even looking disturbed or perturbed. Nigeria, a joke factory, where evil is glorified.

DAT is for him
