Judge Orders Evans’ Lawyer To Give Undertaking As Trial Resumes

The trial of alleged kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans, has resumed.

He gave the order to Mr Oyekunle Falabi after dismissing a “no-case submission” filed by Evans’ four co-defendants. Since the trial began on August 30, 2017, Evans was represented at different times by Mr Olukoya Ogungbeje, Mr Noel Brown, and Mr Olanrewaju Ajanaku, all of whom withdrew from the case.At the resumed proceedings on Friday, the new lawyer, Mr Falabi told the court that the chambers of Victor Okpara and Co. were just briefed about the case the previous day.

“In the event of any breach of this undertaking, the court is at liberty to report us to our national body, the Nigerian Bar Association .”After Falabi wrote and signed the undertaking, Justice Oshodi ordered that the document be witnessed and signed by the Lagos State Solicitor-General, Ms Titilayo Shitta-Bey, who was representing the prosecution.

In presenting its case against the defendants, the fourth prosecution witness, Inspector Idowu Haruna, had told the court that during interrogation, Evans had identified his other gang members which included the third, fourth, fifth and sixth defendants.
