Billionaire kidnap kingpin , Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike aka “ Evans” , has told the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja that the last time he was fed by the Nigerian Prison authority was 3 days ago .According to Saharareporters , Evans and the other five accused persons made the complaint during the continuation of their trial before Justice Hakeem Oshodi on Friday , November 17 , 2017 ?
Immediately Evans was brought into the courtroom , himself and the other accomplices began agitating about their feeding condition in prison custody .
According to him , the prison authorities deprived him of change of clothes , food , and water since Wednesday.
“ This is unfair , I have not been given food and change of clothes. I was not given the opportunity to bathe since Wednesday .
I am seriously hungry now . They locked us in one place, no food and no water to bathe . The last time we were fed was when a wife of one of us brought food ” he lamented .
Evans’ counsel Olukoya Ogungbeje , and Mr . Aduba ’ s lawyer , Emmanuel Ochai , also attested to the fact that their clients are being starved. Mr . Ogungbeje sought permission to go buy food for his clients, pleading that only a living person can stand trial .
Mr . Ogungbeje said ;
“ apart from being starved my lord , they are locked up in solitary confinement with no access to anybody . If this continues , they may not be in the right frame of mind to continue the trial ” .
Having listened to the reactions , the presiding judge ordered the prosecutor , Ms . Titilayo Shittay -Bey , to investigate the accusation .
