By A Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja has convicted kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans, on a two-count charge of conspiracy and kidnapping of a business man, Donatus Duru.
Stonix News reports that the victim is the Managing Director of Maydon Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
Justice Hakeem Oshodi convicted Evans alongside two of his co-defendants, Uchenna Amadi and Okuchuwkwu Nwachukwu.
The judge held that the prosecution had successfully proved the charge against the three convicts beyond all reasonable doubt.
He concluded that the evidence tendered before the court, especially their videos’ confessions, corroborated their guilt and therefore handed them life imprisonment.
The court discharged and acquitted Ogechi Uchechukwu and two former soldiers of the Nigerian Army, Chilaka Ifeanyi and Victor Aduba, for lack of sufficient evidence linking them to the crime.
