The Lagos State Government on Monday re-arraigned convicted billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans, before the Lagos High Court, Ikeja, over the alleged murder of two police officers.
Evans was re-arraigned alongside his co-defendant, Joseph Emeka, on a five-count charge bordering on murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit kidnapping.
Both defendants pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to them before Justice A.O. Ogala.
Evans, who became infamous for orchestrating a series of high-profile kidnappings, is already facing five separate criminal cases involving kidnapping and murder.
He has been convicted in two of the cases.
The latest arraignment comes just days after President Bola Tinubu granted presidential clemency to some convicted inmates across the country.
