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.
