The Lagos State High Court in Igbosere has dismissed the two applications by alleged kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans seeking to quash charges of murder and illegal sales of firearms preferred against him.
Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo, in a ruling on Friday, November 10, described the applications as misconceived and lacking in merit.
The judge held that the proof of evidence filed by the state in support of the charges disclosed sufficient material worth pursuing by the prosecuting counsel.
The dismissal of the applications paved the way for Evans’ arraignment on two fresh charges.
It will be recalled that the Lagos State High court in Ikeja on Friday, November 3 dismissed an application to quash the charges of conspiracy and kidnapping preferred against Evans.
Evans’ counsel, Olukoya Ogungbeje, last week, told the trial judge, Justice Hakeem Oshodi that the application was premised on the fact that a similar charge of kidnapping was before Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the state high court.
