Alleged kidnap suspect,
Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike popularly known as Evans and three others yesterday
begged a Lagos State High court in Igbosere to quash the fresh criminal charges
preferred against them by the Lagos State government.
The
fresh charges before Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo are alleged conspiracy, attempted
kidnap, attempted murder and murder. This came on the heels of speculations
among members of the public that Evans may be freed at the end of the
day. Apart from the charges before Justice Taiwo, Evans is also on kidnap
trial before other courts in Lagos State.
At 9: 36am, Evans along with the other defendants was brought
inside the court room in handcuffs, escorted by five armed officials of the
Nigerian Prison Service. His lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje who had filed an
application seeking to quash the charges against his client proceeded to argue
his application. Ruling in the matter was fixed for November 10.
