Billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme
Onwuamadike, a.k.a Evans, on Wednesday, pleaded guilty to kidnapping
charges brought against him by the Lagos State Government.He was charged
alongside five of his accomplices.
Evans pleaded guilty to a two
count charge of kidnapping brought against him by the state. He
promptly responded that ‘I am guilty’ when the charges were read to him.
Evans
was represented by his counsel, Olukoya Ogungbeje. It can be recalled
that presiding judge, Justice Abdulaziz Anka had initially fixed Tuesday
to deliver judgment on the suit but a lawyer to the Inspector General
of Police, David Igbodo filed a counter affidavit before the court.
Citing
reasons for the action, Igbodo said; “It will be an injustice for
judgment to be delivered without hearing our own side,”
He
further added: “The Inspector General of Police devoted time, efforts,
intelligence, and strategies to ensure that he was arrested. He beat
strategies for the past six years. When he was arrested, it took time
for the police to complete investigations and very soon, Nigerians will
be made to know what is the next line of action for Evans.”
