What Have I Done To You people?’ — Evans Breaks Down In Tears In Court
ke, an alleged kidnapper better known as Evans, has accused officials of the Nigeria Prisons Service of treating him inhumanely.
Evans, who was at the Lagos State High court, where he was arraigned on two fresh charges of kidnapping, on Monday, had earlier refused to come down from the prison van.
He was, however, prevailed upon by warders acting on the orders of Justice Adedayo Akintoye to bring him out of the van. As he appeared before the judge, Evans, dressed in a pair of shorts and a green T-shirt, signaled to him that he wanted to say something.
“I have an explanation to make,” he said in handcuffs “Since I have been in the maximum prison, they have been maltreating me; no visit, they don’t feed me well, I have eye problem and I cannot see afar.”
Refuting his claim, one of the prison officials said: “We have been treating him very well; he is well-fed and people have been visiting him.
“A doctor has been checking him; the doctor came to check him yesterday (Sunday) and even this morning before coming to court… because he was saying he can’t be in court, that he is not feeling fine.
“But when the doctor checked him yesterday (Sunday) and this morning, the doctor said he was healthy and that he saw no reason why he shouldn’t be in court.”
According to Evans, the prison official’s claim that a doctor saw him was not true but rather he was seen by a nurse.
However, Ogedi Ogbu, counsel to Joseph Emeka, the second defendant, revealed to the court that his client had also made similar grievances.
Ms. Titilayo Shitta-Bey, the Lagos State Director of Prosecutions, urged the court not to fall for the gimmicks of Evans.
“That was the same thing he said before an Ikeja High Court; when we wrote the prisons, they wrote us back that he was being taken care of like every other inmate,” Shitta-Bey said.
However, Justice Akintoye ordered that the Prison officials treat Evans and his co-defendants same the way they treat other inmates.
The judge also yielded to the request of Evans’ lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje, to stand down the case.
Immediately the Judge left the courtroom, Evans began to cry, saying: “What have I done to you people? They have been beating me; no good food; I have been locked up in one place since August 30 last year; why are they taking my case personally? Let me face my trial alive, why do you people want to kill me.”
The case has however been adjourned to May 25, 2018.
Meanwhile, also on Monday, a Lagos State High Curt threw out Evans’ application seeking the release of his Mack trucks confiscated by the Nigeria Police Force.
The Police had claimed the trucks were purchased with proceeds of unlawful activities, adding that they were exhibits the police intended to use in prosecuting Evans for armed robbery and kidnapping.
“The trucks recovered are proceeds of crime which are preserved and kept as exhibits to be tendered in the ongoing criminal prosecution of the application at the High Court of Lagos State,” the police had argued before Justice Hadizat Shagari, the presiding judge.
Evans’ lawyer, Ogungbeje, however, contended that the trucks were seized without a court order, saying the seizure was a violation of Evans’ right under sections 36, 43, and 44 of the 1999 Constitution.
He asked the court to award N200 million as general and exemplary damages against the police for violating his client’s rights.
Ruling on the case, Justice Shagari aligned with the position of the police and consequently dismissed Evan’s application as filed by his lawyer.
Justice Abdulazeez Anka had also dismissed a similar application filed by Mr. Ogungbeje on behalf of Evans, demanding N300 million damages for wrongful detention by the police.
The judge reasoned that the decision of the police to detain him from June 10, till June 22, 2017, was reasonable because there was an order acquired to that effect.
Evans was arraigned alongside Joseph Emeka, Linus Okpara and Victor Aduba on charges bordering on “conspiracy and unlawful capture”.
The state alleged in the charges that the defendants conspired with some persons still at large to “unlawfully capture one Uche Okorafor on the 21st of November 2014, at Festac Town, Lagos; and demanded a random of $2m”.
The DPP said the accused acted contrary to sections 409 and 269 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State 2011, adding that they were liable to punishment under the same law.
But they pleaded not guilty.
Justice Akintoye adjourned till May 25, 2018 for commencement of trial.

Hungry Man Murders Wife Over Food
A 33-year-old woman identified as Sokari West was allegedly stabbed to death yesterday by her husband during a fight in their house in Buguma, Asari-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State. Daily Sun gathered that the victim, a mother of two, had a quarrel with her husband, Ibisaki, a native of Minama community in the same local government area, over her alleged refusal to prepare a meal for the family, which later led to a fight.
According to community sources, the victim had allegedly refused to prepare the meal as ordered by her husband on Saturday, and went out to celebrate her birthday with friends and returned late in the night.
The sources further disclosed that the couple has had several marital crises in the past, which led to their separation, but they later reconciled after the intervention of their families.
Also, they said that, while the couple engaged in the fightthat claimed the woman;s life, the husband broke a bottle and stabbed the woman on the thigh with the sharp point, which caused serious bleeding, and all efforts to save her life failed, as there were no doctors in the hospitals she rushed to.
She was later taken to the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) in Choba, about an hour’s drive from their home, where she was confirmed dead by a doctor on duty.
Tonye David, a resident of the community where the incident occurred, said that the victim celebrated her birthday on Saturday in the community, and was killed by the father of her children on Sunday morning, during a fight that ensued between them after a domestic argument.
David said: “What led to the fight was that, on Saturday, the husband told her to cook. But she ignored his instruction and went out to celebrate her birthday. So, when she went home later in the evening, she met her husband eating the soup she refused to prepare. Already drunk, she tried to eat the food, but the man stopped her. She lifted the plate and poured the soup on the husband.
“Her action did not go well with her husband, who immediately stood up started beating her. He picked a bottle he collected from her in the course of the fight, broke it and stabbed her on the lap. She fell down and was bleeding heavily. They rushed her to the health centre but there was no doctor to attend to her. They took her to a medicine store to stop the bleeding, but no one was there to attend to her. So, it was when they took her to the UPTH that a doctor, who examined her, confirmed that she was dead.”
It was further gathered that Ibisaki, on hearing that the victim might not survive the stabbing, submitted himself to the Buguma Police Station.
The state police public relations officer, Nnamdi Omoni, confirmed the incident to journalists, adding that the suspect has been arrested and he is aiding in further investigation.
Omoni said: “The man is with us now; he has been arrested and helping us in our investigation. He stabbed his wife on her left leg and she later died of bleeding, though he said he did not intend to kill her.”
