Evans, the Billionaire Kidnapper Walks Alone As Lawyer Dramatically Withdraws From Case [See Why]

A legal practitioner who is representing Evans, an alleged billionaire kidnapper who led gangs that abducted several Nigerians for years, and reportedly made a fortune from ransom payments, has withdrawn from the case.

The lawyer representing Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans, has withdrawn his representation from all criminal charges against his client, PREMIUM Times reports.

Olukoya Ogungbeje said his decision to withdraw as counsel to Evans was “for personal reasons.”

In a statement made available to correspondents, Ogungbeje 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.”
