Lagos Government Re-Arraigns Convicted Kidnapper, Evans, Over Alleged Murder of Police Officers.
The Lagos State Government has re-arraigned notorious kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans, on fresh charges of murdering two police officers.
Evans was re-arraigned on Monday alongside his co-defendant, Joseph Emeka, before Justice A.O. Ogala on a five-count charge bordering on murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to kidnap. Both defendants pleaded not guilty.
The duo, currently held at the Kirikiri Maximum Custodial Centre following convictions in separate cases, were previously being tried before Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo before her retirement.
Prosecutors alleged that Evans and Emeka murdered police officers Peter Nweke and Chijioke Ngozi on August 27, 2013, in the Festac area of Lagos. They are also accused of attempting to kidnap Vincent Obianodo, chairman of Young Shall Grow Motors.
The case, which has seen multiple adjournments and was previously marked by a plea bargain attempt by Evans, has now been reassigned to a new judge. Both defendants continue to face several other criminal trials in various courts for related offences.
