The Lagos State Government has re-arraigned convicted billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans, before a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja on fresh charges bordering on murder.

Evans and his co-defendant, Joseph Emeka, appeared before Justice A. O. Ogala on Monday, where they were arraigned on a five-count charge of murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit kidnapping.

Both defendants pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

The notorious kidnap kingpin is already facing multiple criminal trials for kidnapping and the murder of several victims, and has been convicted in two separate cases.
