Justice Hakeem Oshodi of the Lagos high court, Ikeja has sentenced Chukwudimeme Onwuamadike (alias Evans) and two of his accomplices – Uche Amadi, and Okwuchukwu Nwachukwu, to life imprisonment over allegations of kidnapping.
The judge found them guilty of two counts of criminal conspiracy and kidnapping.
The judge convicted the three men after finding that the state government provided overwhelming evidence to prove it case against them.
The three other co-defendants, Ogechi Uchechukwu, Chilaka Ifeanyi and Victor Aduba were discharged of the alleged Crimes. The court declared that the prosecution didn’t succeed in proving their guilt beyond reasonable grounds.
Evans and his team member were arrested by the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team led by now suspended DCP Abba Kyari in 2017 and they have been facing trial since then.
