The multi-Billionaire kidnapper and kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, aka Evans, pleaded guilty, to the two counts of conspiracy and kidnap, in court on Wednesday.
Evans, who was arraigned before a Lagos High Court, presided over by Justice Akeem Oshodi of Court 18, to face series of charges levelled against him by the Nigeria Police.
Also arraigned alongside Evans are five (5) suspected members of his kidnap gang which includes: Uche Amadi, Ogechi Uchechukwu, Okwuchukwu Nwachukwu, Chilaka Ifeanyi and Victor Chukwunonso Abuba. They all appeared before the court along under heavy security.
The counsel to Evans, Kayode Ogungbeje, who has been representing him in his N300 million fundamental rights suit against the police was also in court.
Earlier, his counsel, Katie Ogungbeje, had claimed they have been denied access to him and that he may plead guilty under duress.
However, the Head of prosecution legal team, David Igbodo, said more charges would follow between now and October 19 of the adjourned date.
A total of six suspects were brought before the court on Wednesday, including a female and five males.
Three of the suspects pleaded guilty to their charges while three pleaded not guilty.
