Lagos invites Femi Falana to testify against Evans
The Lagos State Government Thursday filed an application seeking to present Mr. as a witness in its trial of the suspected billionaire kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike alias Evans at an Igbosere High Court, Lagos.
But only two charges are before Justice Akintoye. Three others are before Justices Hakeem Oshodi and Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Ikeja High Court. He said Evans alleged that Falana visited the police station where he was being tortured, but a Chief Superintendent hid him in a toilet until the lawyer left.But Evans’ counsel Mr. R. B. Ekeh said he had yet to respond to the application, adding that other defendants’ counsel said they were not served with the application.Countering him, Oshoala explained that “the issue came up during trial within trial of the first defendant , it therefore does not concern the other defendants”.
