The Lagos State Government on Monday re-arraigned convicted billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans, before a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja.
Evans was docked alongside his co-defendant, Joseph Emeka, on a five-count charge bordering on murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit kidnapping.
The charges were read before Justice A. O. Ogala, where both Evans and Emeka pleaded not guilty. The prosecution accused the duo of being responsible for the killing of two police officers in the course of their criminal activities.
The notorious kidnap kingpin is currently facing five different criminal trials relating to the kidnapping and murder of several victims. He has already been convicted in two separate cases and is serving prison sentences.
