Alleged kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, aka Evans, on Tuesday, filed a fresh suit at a Federal High Court in Lagos, seeking N1 billion damages against the Police over alleged unlawful sealing of his property in Lagos.
The suit, filed by his lawyer, Mr. Olukoya Ogungbeje, has sued the Inspector General of Police, Nigeria Police, Inspector General of Police, Intelligence Response Team, (IRT), ACP Abba Kyari and DSP Phillip Rieninwa as respondents. The applicant is seeking a declaration that the forceful seizure, confiscation, and sealing of his property by the respondents without any court order is illegal, wrongful and unconstitutional.
In addition, he is asking the court for an order compelling the respondents to immediately and unconditionally unseal and vacate the applicants two residential houses located in a highbrow area of Magodo in Lagos. Other reliefs are an order compelling the respondents to severally and jointly tender an apology to the applicant and to pay him the sum of N1 billion being general and exemplary damages for the alleged forceful seizure and confiscation of the applicant’s property without the court order.
The applicant also wants N4 million as the cost of action against the respondents. No date has been fixed for the hearing of the suit which was filed on Tuesday about 11.35 a.m.

Only in Nigeria. Imagine a thief of this caliber.
ReplyDeleteOnly in Nija. Rubbish country
ReplyDeleteImagine such guts!!!
ReplyDeleteAre u kidding me? Well this is the kind of news we get in this country because of the porous laws we practice and some quack unqualified lawyers that are defending all these unscrupulous criminals. U steal a phone and you will get 25 years jail term and someone like this exasperating lawyer won't come out to defend the defenceless. I knew this case will drag on for years. If all these stupid corrupt lawyers and judges arent buried alive, then we still av a long way to go in our justice system
ReplyDeleteNa wa. Deal with him or free him. You people are giving this guy so much confidence
ReplyDeleteMtchewwwwwwwww
ReplyDeleteEvans must be a joker! Can you imagine after all his crimes! Who is the evil lawyer from the pit of hell defending him. I can only shake my head and wonder!
ReplyDeletewe know Evans is wrong but his lawyer is smart. I give it to him. It happens in the western world all the time. Rich criminals get off because they have smart lawyers O.J Simpson for example. There are many others like him. Well I won't be surprised if Evans goes Scott free or gets a very light sentence.
