The trial of the Billionaire kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, a.k.a Evans, continued on Wednesday before the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja.
The prosecution played a video which captured Evans confessing to kidnapping and armed robbery. In the video the kidnap kingpin was fielding questions from a police investigative officer, Inspector Idowu Haruna.
In his testimony, Haruna, who was led in evidence by Shitta-Bey narrated, “I’m a member of the Inspector-General of Police, Intelligence Response Team. I know the defendants from when they were arrested for the kidnapping of one person on February 14, 2017. “That victim was taken to their hideout in Igando, Lagos and kept there for a month till he escaped from the hideout.
Through covert operations, we arrested Evans and during interrogations he mentioned Victor Aduba. The first defendant (Evans) gave us information about the people he had kidnapped in Lagos and in other states. He confessed that on June 28, 2014, at Saka Street, Amuwo-Odofin in Lagos, he was armed with an Ak47 gun and he kidnapped Mr. Sylvanus Ahamonu, and took him to their hideout in a danfo bus. After holding the victim for nine weeks, they contacted his family demanding $2m with the family agreeing to pay $420,000. The family paid the $420,000 in installments."
Further proceedings in the case were adjourned till April 23 and 27, 2018.

We all know this, all we want to see or hear is justice been carried out. Justice delayed will be justice denied. Enough of this rigmaroling.

But is he guilty? He made all these statements under duress. He was tortured. Did you not see bits of it? He didn't even have access to a lawyer. What is justice? He needs to have a fair trial for justice to be seen as done.
