Evans Backtracks, Says ‘I’m Not Guilty
Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, billionaire kidnapper better known as Evans, has pleaded not guilty to the two counts of conspiracy and kidnapping levelled against him.
Evans made the plea at a sitting of the Lagos state high court on Thursday.
At his last court appearance in August, Evans acknowledged guilt when the charges were read to him.
Lagos state government had arraigned Evans alongside five others; Uche Amadi, Ogechi Izechuwku, Okechukwu
Nwachukwu, Chilaka Ifeanyi and Victor Chukwunonso, before Hakeem Oshodi, a judge.
Adeniji Kazeem, attorney-general of Lagos state, who led the prosecution, asked for a trial date and for all defendants to be remanded in custody.
