$2m kidnap ransom: Drama as LASG re-arraigns Evans, three others

Lagos State government has re-arraigned suspected billionaire kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, aka Evans, on a fresh five count criminal charge bordering on kidnapping.

It was alleged that Evans and the three other defendants conspired amongst themselves and unlawfully captured one Uche Okorafor, on November 21, 2014, at Festac Town Lagos and demanded for a random of $2 million dollars.

The alleged kidnap kingpin was arrested on June 10, 2017 and was in August 2017 arraigned before Justice Hakeem Oshodi at an Ikeja High Court for kidnapping.

However, there was a mild drama before their arraignment at the Lagos High Court, Igbosere yesterday when Evans refused to alight from the Black Maria.

When finally he got into the court room handcuffed, he raised his hand while in the dock saying that he had something to say to the court.

Evans, who came in a torn greed Tee shirt and a short and barefooted to the court, told Justice Adedayo Akintoye that he was not being treated well in the prison, he said he was not allowed any visitation and that he could hardly see far.

Evans said: “I have an explanation to make, since I have been in the maximum prison, they have been maltreating me, no visit and they don’t feed me well. I have eye problem and I cannot see far.”

However a prison warder from Kirikiri Maximum Prison told the court that Evans was taken care of like every other inmate and that he has been seeing a doctor since he complained about his health.
