Kidnapper, Evans Loses In Court

The Court of Appeal in Lagos has dismissed three appeals by suspected billionaire kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, also known as Evans, seeking to stop his trial at two high courts in Lagos State.

Evans had approached the appellate court to challenge the jurisdiction of the lower courts in the State to continue his trial.

However, a three-man panel of the Court of Appeal led by Justice Jummai Sankey held that Evans’ appeals against the Ikeja High Court were without merit.

Other Justices on the panel were: Justice Philomena Ekpe and Justice Muhammed Mustapha.
