Justice Hakeem Oshodi of the Lagos High Court in Ikeja on Friday, February 25, 2022, sentenced Chukwudimeme Onwuamadike, aka Evans, and his accomplices – Uche Amadi and Okwuchukwu Nwachukwu to life imprisonment.
The court found Evans guilty of the kidnap of Mr. Donatius Dunu, the Chief Executive Officer CEO of Maydon Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
In a three-hour judgment, Justice Hakeem Oshodi found the three persons guilty of conspiracy and kidnapping.
The judge, however, discharged and acquitted the other co-defendants, Ogechi Uchechukwu, Chilaka Ifeanyi, an ex-soldier; and Victor Aduba, also an ex-soldier.
He held that there was no evidence linking them to the crimes.
A verdict on sentencing is slated to be delivered in an hour after the court heard arguments by counsel for the state government and the defendants on whether to commit them to custodial sentencing.
