Olukoya Ogungbeje, the lawyer who tried to set free the infamous billionaire kidnapper, has again been slammed with a fine for professional misconduct.
Ogungbeje, who had sued the police authorities over their continued detention of the suspected kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike a.k.a. Evans, was recently fined N500, 000 by a Federal High Court in Lagos for professional misconduct.
Today, Justice AbdulAziz Anka of a Federal High Court, in Lagos awarded a cost in the sum of N20,000, against Ogungbeje.
Besides that, the judge also warned that Ogungbeje should desist from acts unbecoming of a legal practitioner.
The court took the two actions during the hearing of what was supposed to be the fundamental rights suit filed by the lawyer on behalf of Evans.
He had filed the suit against the Inspector-General of Police demanding N300million, for what he termed as his ‘Illegal and unlawful detention’.
