Lagos re-arraigns notorious kidnapper Evans for murder of 2 police officers

The Lagos State Government has re-arraigned convicted billionaire notorious kidnapper Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans, for the alleged killing of two police officers.

Evans was re-arraigned on Monday before Justice A. O. Ogala of the Lagos High Court, Ikeja, alongside his co-defendant, Joseph Emeka, on a five-count charge bordering on murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit kidnapping.

Both defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges.

According to the prosecution, Evans and his co-defendant allegedly murdered Peter Nweke and Chijioke Ngozi, two police officers, on August 27, 2013, in the Festac area of Lagos.

They were also accused of attempting to kidnap Vincent Obianodo, the Chairman of Young Shall Grow Motors, during the same operation.

The case, which was initially before Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo, was reassigned following her retirement. It has now come under Justice Ogala’s docket for the continuation of the trial.
