Popular kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, also known as Evans, and his co-defendant, Victor Aduba, has been sentenced to 21 years imprisonment for kidnapping one Sylvanus Hafia by Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Ikeja Special Offences Court on Monday.
The accused were sentenced for 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-count charge.
The judge held that the sentence would serve as a deterrent to other aspiring kidnappers.
