Ndudi Ogwu, a student of the Delta
State Polytechnic, Ogwashi-Uku, and Chukwudi Ifemeni, a businessman
were on Tuesday sentenced to 14-years imprisonment by a Delta State High
Court for kidnapping a nurse.
The convicts, were sentenced with hard labour to 10 years for kidnapping and four years for conspiracy.
The court held that the prosecution had proved its case against the businessman and the ND II mechanical engineering student beyond reasonable doubt and thus convicted and sentenced them accordingly.
According to the prosecutor, Ogwu
and Ifemeni with two others now at large kidnapped one Mrs. Kate Okogu,
wife of Mr. Paul Okogu, a politician on and Chukwudi Ifemeni.
The prosecutor said the abductors
took their victim to a forest along Isoko-Patani Road where she was
kept, but was fortunately rescued by a team of soldiers the next day.
The prosecutor said the convicts admitted the crime in their confessional statements, but later tried to deny it during trial.
