Justice Hakeem Oshodi of a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja, yesterday, dismissed the bail application filed by Victor Aduba, who is facing criminal charges alongside alleged notorious kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike known as Evans.

The trial judge in his ruling dismissed the bail application. He held that the prosecution’s argument that Aduba was a flight risk, added that he had no relation in Lagos.

Aduba, Evans and four others, Uche Amadi, Ogechi Uchechukwu, Okuchukwu Nwachukwu and Chilaka Ifeanyi, were arraigned on August 30, 2017 on two- count charge bordering on conspiracy and kidnapping.

Oshodi held that Aduba did not place sufficient material before the court to make the court exercise its discretion in his favour. “The bail application is hereby refused and is dismissed.
