Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Ikeja Special Offences Court on Monday sentenced kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, also known as Evans, and his co-defendant, Victor Aduba, to 21 years imprisonment for kidnapping one Sylvanus Hafia.
They
were accused of conspiring and kidnapping Sylvanus Ahanonu Hafia at about 5:30
pm on June 23, 2014, at Kara Street, Amuwo Odofin in Lagos and were alleged to
have captured and detained Hafia and demanded a ransom of $2m.
But
they pleaded not guilty to the four charges.
The
judge held that the sentence would serve as a deterrent to other aspiring
kidnappers.
