Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, alias Evans, the convicted billionaire kidnap kingpin facing attempted murder charges, has approached the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja seeking a settlement.
Evans, along with his co-defendant Joseph Emeka, facing murder and attempted kidnap charges, has opted for the option of a plea bargain.
Mr. Yusuf Sule, the state prosecution counsel, informed the court about the plea bargain option on Thursday during the case’s re-arraignment before Justice Adenike Coker.
Evans and his co-defendant are set to be re-arraigned on an amended five-count charge related to murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit felony, specifically kidnapping and attempted murder.
Sule informed the court that the case was for re-arraignment but he was aware the defendant had applied for a plea bargain.
The prosecutor, however, said that the plea bargain terms were being considered by the Attorney-General of Lagos State, Mr Lawal Pedro (SAN).
