Two jailed 25 years for kidnapping in Ekiti
An Ekiti State High Court has sentenced two men to 25 years in prison each for kidnapping. The convicts, Ibrahim Abubakar and Abdullahi Abubakar, were found guilty of abducting Omoboade Adesina, a staff member of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC. The court said the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt. The judge delivered the ruling after reviewing the evidence presented during the trial. A third defendant in the case was discharged and acquitted because the court found the evidence against him insufficient. The kidnapping case was part of the growing concern over violent crime in Nigeria. The court’s decision was seen as a strong warning to kidnappers and other criminal groups operating in the state. Justice officials said the judgment reflects the seriousness of kidnapping offences and the need for stricter punishment to deter similar crimes.
