Confessional statements not obtained under duress, judge tells Evans co-defendants

Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, alias Evans, over the alleged kidnap of Dunu, Chief Executive Officer, Maydon Pharmaceutical Limited.

The trial judge held that defence counsel of Chilaka Ifeanyi and Victor Aduba, fourth and sixth defendants respectively, did not provide sufficient proof to the court that they were coerced into giving the statements. “The fact is that the fourth and sixth defence counsels, Mr Olanrewaju Ajanaoku and O. Emmanuel respectively, did not raise the issue of a gun being pointed to the heads of their clients nor the issue of a broken finger during the cross examination of the prosecution witness, and this leads to the conclusion that these speculations were an afterthought.
