They were charged by the Lagos State Government over the kidnapping of  Donatus Duru, the Managing Director  of Maydon Pharmaceuticals. Duru was kidnapped at about 7.45pm along Obokun Street, in the Ilupeju area of Lagos in February 2017.

In condemning Evans, Justice Oshodi said that the convict tried to lie himself out of his heinous crime but that the video evidence of his confession before the Police was damning.

He noted that there was no sign of torture on his body, and that Evans freely confessed to his crime, and was even laughing about it while mentioning the names of his colleagues in crime. Even in the dock, the Judge noted, Evans showed no remorse.

Oshodi: ” He was seen freely laughing and willingly answered questions. A close look at his body showed no sign of torture. He did not look unkempt. He is seen laughing even when he was told that he must be a rich kidnapper.

“He showed no remorse in the dock and tried to lie his way out of the crime despite video evidence.”
