Alleged Billionaire Kidnapper, Evans, Hires New Lawyer As Case Continues In Court

Evans
 
The alleged billionaire kidnapper, Evans, has hired a new lawyer as his criminal case continues in court. 
Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, alias Evans, the alleged billionaire kidnapper, has hired a new lawyer, following the withdrawal of his original counsel, Olukoya Ogungbeje, New Telegraph reports.
 
The new lawyer, Noel Brown, announced appearance for Evans and one of his co-defendants, Ogechi Uchechukwu, at their resumed trial before Justice Hakeem Oshodi at the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja on Friday.
 
Brown prompted Justice Oshodi to confirm from Evans and Uchechukwu that he was their new lawyer, to which they both answered in the affirmative.
 
However, while the 5th and 6th defendants – Chilaka Ifeanyi and Victor Aduba – were presented by Messrs A.A. Uzoukwu and Emmanuel Ochai, respectively, the 2nd and 4th defendants – Uche Amadi and Okechukwu Nwachukwu – had no lawyer to represent them.
 
Asked by the court what they intended to do, Amadi and Nwachukwu both said they were planning to change their lawyers, adding that they hoped to get one before the next adjourned date.
 
Ogungbeje had in a recent press release announced his withdrawal from the case, citing threat to his life and other members of his team.
