Popular kingpin, Chukwudimeme Onwuamadike, best known as Evans has pointed out in court that he is not a kidnapper, but a businessman who deals in ornaments and Horlicks.
Evans disputed all claims of kidnapping leveled against him by the Lagos State Government on Tuesday, led in evidence by his defense counsel, Victor Okpara, saying he was a legitimate businessman.
According to him, his nickname was not Evans and he was forced to confess to being a kidnapper after police killed four people in his presence in an attempt to force him to confess.
He went on claiming that he had never met his five co-defendants before being captured by the authorities, except on the day they were paraded as members of a kidnapping gang by the police at Area F Police Command in Ikeja, Lagos.
The case has now been adjourned until November 5 so that the final written addresses could be adopted.
