An Ikeja High court sitting in Lagos State on Monday, sentenced two former gang members of billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudimeme Onwuamadike, also known as Evans to 41 years in prison.

Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo sentenced the convicts, 32-year-old Kelvin Emenike Ukoh and Emeka Obasi, 33 over the abduction of one Ugoje Jude, a shipping agent, and his staff, Miss Piriye Gogo on August 3, 2012.

The convicts were arraigned in 2013 alongside three others: Uche Igbani, 28, Chibuzor Osuagwu, 33 and a 36-year-old woman, Onowu Ngozi, on a 14 count-charge bothering on conspiracy, kidn

The gang had kidnapped Ugoje and another staff, Piriye Gogo who were taken to an unknown destination by their leader, Evans.

Narrating her ordeal before the court, Miss Gogo said that the three men accosted them with rifles on their way home and that she was almost raped inside the car, but was saved by her monthly menstrual period.

While being led in evidence before the court, Gogo disclosed that during the abduction, one of the kidnappers, Obasi, came into the car, after dragging her boss out for negotiation at an undisclosed location, and started handling with her breast.

Gogo said, “He came into the car, tore my clothes, pulled down a side of my bra and began caressing my breast. He thereafter started dragging down my shirt and I began begging him. I begged him until I had nothing else I could plead with. I begged him intensely for mercy and even told him that I was menstruating.

“It was as though all my pleas fail on deaf ears, I had to insert my hand into my vagina just to show him. The blood I showed him prevented him from raping me. It was a terrible experience.

“He, thereafter, asked whether Mr. Jude was the owner of the company. And I replied that we were just clearing agents. They also seized our mobile phones, jewellery and money.

“They blindfolded Mr. Jude, brought him back into the car, asked me to face down with my eyes closed, and then drove off to another location. They spoke Igbo almost all the time so I could barely understand what they were saying or taking us to.

“While driving off to the other location, they asked if I could drive, I said no. So they dropped down from the car and took Mr Jude with them. They ordered me to face down and not look at their faces or I will be shot dead. They abandoned me and the Honda pilot car at 2nd bridge alongside expressway, where I waited until I saw a police patrol and flagged them.

Also testifying, Jude said his abductors initially ordered him to pay N10m for his release but after negotiations, they collected N5m.

After listening to them, the trial judge, Justice Taiwo convicted and sentenced Ukoh and Obasi to 5, 15 and 21 years for conspiracy, kidnapping and armed robbery respectively, while the other three were discharged and acquitted by court.

The judge held that the prosecution could not prove that those acquitted Igbani, Osuagwu and Ngozi were linked to the alleged charges of murder, conspiracy, kidnapping and armed robbery.

what does the young lad know about suffering he should ask from women and men who stand in the sun for several hours just to sell something that the profit is not more than 500naira in a day, he should ask from people who push wheelbarrow full of yams or cements for several kilometers just to attract buyers, he should ask from people who after working in the factory for a whole month and paid less than 20k naira.

Most of these celebs are always trying to paint a picture of grass to grace story, why can't they just stay true to who they truly are.

Bros don't be so pained a celebrity must keep appearances weda good or bad, true or false that's how they remain in the public domain and maintain relevance.

That's the celebrity unwritten rule 101.

Can't just understand why certain persons are bereft of simple morality.

iammo:

yes oo, Dr Fayemi is a thorough breed professional and an excellent administrator who would upturn all of Fayose's mediocre policies and appointment for the good of the state

In Developed Countries , Civil service is meant for well educated and highly skilled individuals who got employed based on merit, In Nigeria civil service is a mediocre poverty eleviation scheme for citizens to earn unmerited salaries drawn from Niger Delta Oil Revenue.

We have state ministry of works that cant construct a road even with all their engineers on payroll, we still rely on chinese contractors,
Ministry of Water Resources workers earn monthly salary, yrt no municipality potable water, everyone dig well or borehole

For the first time since I came across your moniker you've made sense kudos.

Nobi new thing naa..shameless pipu.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has accused the General Officer Commanding 6 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major General Jamil Sarhem, of running an illegal oil bunkering squad for the purpose of financing his (Sarham) quest to be appointed the Chief of Army Staff.

Wike cautioned that any attempt to appoint the GOC of the 6 Division of the Nigerian Army as the Chief of Army Staff would spell doom for the nation’s failing security architecture.

The governor spoke on Wednesday during a courtesy visit by the Commander, Joint Task Force Operation Delta Safe, Real Admiral Akinjide Akinrinade, at the Government House, Port Harcourt.

He said, “The GOC is doing illegal bunkering, which he is using to finance his quest to emerge as the country’s Chief of Army Staff. He has his own team that is making money for him through oil bunkering.”

Wike also accused the GOC of compromising security in Rivers State through illegal actions.

“We will have a security meeting and he will release the details to criminals, and the Chief of Army Staff will leave the man here because he is playing their role.

“How will the security of the state be with such a man as the GOC? He will compromise when fighting to reduce crime. They sent us a GOC who destroyed the security architecture of the state.”

Wike wondered what the Joint Task Force Operation Delta Safe would do when they encountered the illegal oil bunkering team of the GOC.

He said that Rivers people stopped the GOC and his accomplices from imposing a governor on the state during the elections.

It's no brainer cyber crime is the new rave amongst under graduates and young school leavers..a country's young population immersed in a life of scam, fraud and all manner of obscene apostasy

Abeg we need more Nigerians back home to share the suffer evenly...I give those children 2 years Max before dem turn Atutu poyoyo.

Bleiz:
Your opinion was given from the blind point of things.

There is a disharmony in the pay structure of workers in the civil service and certain MDAs. For instance, CBN, NNPC, DPR, etc pay salaries way above what other workers in the same grade level in ministries earn. The disparity is way too much.

That is what the committee was set up to look at. Their ToR will be with high paying MDAs not the minimum wage.

The salary a director in the service earns is far outweighs what someone directly below his grade level earns.

That is the committee's remit.

I'm struggling to see the logic in your submission are you aware that this minimum wage has been subjected to several committee reviews prior to the eventual signing into law..or are you saying that the discrepancies in the salary structures across ministries, agencies and MDAs has not always been there,...shouldn't they have done a more thorough job at harmonizing all the scales before the eventual passing of the bill and signing into law..

What else are the constituting government bodies listed amongst this committee doing all this while, the simple truth is that mediocrity and incompetence reigns supreme in our public service, little wonder the country is in its present pitiable state.

ManirBK:
Good development
Sai Next Level

What is the good development there....a bill that has been signed into law since, still been subjected to committee level for what da fvck exactly. Visionlessness at its peak..people holding position without a firm grapse of what the office entails.

All this nonsense are just plain delay tactics, upgrading a pay roll is no rocket science for crying out loud.

Those licking mouths that are quick to accuse Niger delta states of doing nothing with oyel money comman see first class road projects ooh..

This hilarious thing about this whole thing is that some modafvckers In this shi.t hole of a country will still come here and run down the treasure base As if they are not enmassed neck deep in shi.t themselves. Irony is making somuch sense here.

Ok Tonto gaan do the boobs surgery after you can comman show us how it looks on your chest..

Anambra state and heavy truck accidents...the commuter bus is like it's about to take flight.

This modafvcker is a lai Mohammed grade liar...

Suddenly she decided to wash her cloths by 7am in the morning and you as in caregiver opted to help her sun it..

But he tactically skipped how both of them managed to go unclad, I'm supposing he also helped her against her will.

The nigger is as guilty as fvck! He made a mockery of himself with this shambolic defense.

Hmm!


This modern generation tolerance for stress is very thin. The kind thing person pass through for university if na dis modern indomie youths, half for dhan hang demselves

As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, i think Chris attoh deserves to share in his jail term for marrying the wife of a drug dealer. He already shared his wife, his illegal wealth through his wife so he deserves to share in his jail. Even the Bible says give what is for Cesar to Cesar. Chris attoh betrayed the teachings of our lord Jesus by marrying a woman who is still married to a drug lord. He could have been shot dead if he was with the woman at that point. I hope we Christians learn from this and know that all that glitters is not gold

Bleep you dia you dis unrepentant head slammer claiming Christianity
