Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, alias Evans, a convicted billionaire kidnap kingpin facing attempted murder charges, has filed a settlement request with the Lagos State High Court in Ikeja.
Evans alongside his co-defendant Joseph Emeka, facing murder, and attempted kidnap has opted for the option of a plea bargain.
During the re-arraignment hearing before Justice Adenike Coker on Thursday, prosecutor Yusuf Sule revealed that a plea bargain option is being considered.
Evans and his co-defendant are to be re-arraigned on an amended five-counts bordering on murder, attempt to murder, and conspiracy to commit felony to wit: kidnapping and attempt to murder.
Sule told 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).
