An Ikeja Special offence court in Lagos has sentenced kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, better known as Evans to 21 years imprisonment for kidnapping.
Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo sentenced Evans alongside his co-defendant, Victor Aduba on Monday to 21 years imprisonment.
Evans was prosecuted alongside Mr Aduba, a dismissed soldier on four-count charge bordering on kidnapping and unlawful possession of firearms.
The duo were alleged to have kidnapped Ahamonu, on June 23, 2014, held him hostage for nine weeks and collected a ransom of $420,000 from his family.
Upon arraignment, they pleaded not guilty to the four charges proffered against them.
Delivering judgement, the presiding judge held that the sentence would serve as a deterrent to other aspiring kidnappers.
