A Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos State has sentenced popular billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudimeme Onwuamadike, otherwise known as Evans, to life imprisonment.
Evans, alongside his accomplices, Uche Amadi, and Okwuchukwu Nwachukwu, got the sentence on Friday after they were found guilty of two counts of criminal conspiracy and kidnapping.
Justice Hakeem Oshodi found Evans and two others guilty of kidnapping the Managing Director of Maydon Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Donatus Dunu, on February 14, 2017, and collecting 223,000 Euros as ransom from his family.
Five persons were arraigned along with Evans, but the court found only two of the defendants guilty but the judge discharged and acquitted the other co-defendants, Ogechi Uchechukwu, Chilaka Ifeanyi, an ex-soldier; and Victor Aduba, also an ex-soldier.
He held that there was no evidence linking them to the crimes.
