Billionaire Kidnapper: Court Says Evans is Broke, Can’t Afford Legal Fees
Following an information by the Attorney-General, Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN), Justice Hakeem Oshodi of an Ikeja High Court has ordered the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender (OPD)
Following an information by the Attorney-General, Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN), Justice Hakeem Oshodi of an Ikeja High Court has ordered the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender (OPD) to takeover defence of alleged kidnap kingpin, Chukwudimeme Onwuamadike aka Evans due to his inability to afford his legal fees.
On Friday, Attorney-General, Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN), informed the court that his team telephoned the law chambers of Ladi Williams (SAN) and Co., who represented Evans on the last court date.
Onigbanjo disclosed that they were informed that Evans had not “perfected their brief”.
Evans, first arraigned alongside others on August 30, 2017, has changed lawyers more than three times during the course of his trial.
Messers Olukoya Ogungbeje, Noel Brown and Olanrewaju Ajanaku, have represented him.
Justice Oshodi said Evans had developed a habit of engaging the services of lawyers that “disappeared halfway through trial.”
This, he decried, has caused delays in the case.
