BREAKING: Evans to cool down in prison for 21 years over kidnapping

Kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, also known as Evans, and his co-defendant, Victor Aduba, have been sentenced to 21 years imprisonment for kidnapping one Sylvanus Hafia.

Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Ikeja Special Offences Court on Monday handed down the sentence holding that the sentence would serve as a deterrent to other aspiring kidnappers.

They were accused of conspiring and kidnapping Sylvanus Ahanonu Hafia at about 5:30 pm 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 $2m.

But they pleaded not guilty to the four charges.
