Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo convicted and sentenced Evans and his co-defendant, Victor Aduba, to 21 years imprisonment for kidnapping one Sylvanus Hafia.
Evans and his co-defendant were before the court on four counts of conspiracy, kidnapping, and unlawful possession of arms.
They were accused of conspiring and kidnapping Sylvanus Ahanonu Hafia at about 5:30pm on June 23, 2014, at Kara Street, Amuwo Odofin in Lagos and were alleged to have captured and detained Hafia and demanded a ransom of $2 million.
But the defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against them.
Monday’s jail term is the second sentence against the kidnap kingpin.
Justice Hakeem Oshodi had earlier sentenced him and two others to life imprisonment for conspiracy and the kidnap of the Managing Director of Maydon Pharmaceuticals Limited, Donatus Dunu.

I'm confused 🤔. Which sentence is valid now?
ReplyDeleteThe two sentences will run concurrently. Both are valid, unless there's a superior judgement from a higher court that sets aside the judgment of the lower court.
DeleteI see them all being valid.
DeleteIt will most likely run concurrently.
Theres still other case hearings pending. He was very busy and committed to evil on the outside.
Thank you, SBB & False prophet for your responses. Now, I get it.
DeleteThe life sentence supercedes the 21 years sentence even though though both runs concurrently. So, for now, he will sit in the correction centre for life.
DeleteI wish and hope there is a forfeiture order in the judgments.
