An Ikeja Special Offences Court on Monday sentenced kidnap kingpin, Chukwudimeme Onwuamadike, alias Evans to 21 years imprisonment

for kidnapping a businessman Slyvanus Ahamonou and collecting 420,000 dollars as ransom from his family.

“It has been established by the prosecution witness complainant was kidnapped. The question is kidnapped him? “The first defendant sat in a comfortable chair and there was no sign that he made the statement under duress.“He also said how he broke into banks and later graduated to kidnapping. I am satisfied that this court can convict the defendants through his confessional statement,” Taiwo said.

“I have considered the allocates of the defence counsel. This sentencing will serve as a deterrent to others. The first defence counsel, Mr Amobi Nzelu, in his allocutus, prayed the court to temper justice with mercy, adding that the convict was already serving a life jail term.The second defence counsel, Mrs Adeola Folarin, I’m her allocutus, also prayed the court to temper justice with mercy as the convict was a first offender.“He also had a child while he was in custody. He is a father of two young children and they have not enjoyed his fatherly love.
