Billionaire alleged kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike aka “Evans”, has
told the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja that the last time he was fed by the
Nigerian Prison authority was 3 days ago.
According to
Saharareporters, Evans and the other five accused persons made the complaint
during the continuation of their trial before Justice Hakeem Oshodi on Friday,
November 17, 2017?
Immediately
Evans was brought into the courtroom, himself and the other accomplices began
agitating about their feeding condition in prison custody.
According to
him, the prison authorities deprived him of change of clothes, food, and water
since Wednesday.
“This is
unfair, I have not been given food and change of clothes. I was not given the
opportunity to bathe since Wednesday. I am seriously
hungry now. They locked us in one place, no food and no water to bathe. The
last time we were fed was when a wife of one of us brought food” he lamented.
Evans’ counsel
Olukoya Ogungbeje, and Mr. Aduba’s lawyer, Emmanuel Ochai, also attested to the
fact that their clients are being starved. Mr. Ogungbeje sought permission to
go buy food for his clients, pleading that only a living person can stand
trial.
Mr. Ogungbeje
said;
“apart
from being starved my lord, they are locked up in solitary confinement with no
access to anybody. If this continues, they may not be in the right frame of
mind to continue the trial”.
Having
listened to the reactions, the presiding judge ordered the prosecutor, Ms.
Titilayo Shittay-Bey, to investigate the accusation.
