20 years imprisonment for Ozekhome’s kidnappers

 Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court Abuja has sentenced the kidnappers of Prof. Mike Ozekhome and Delta State Commissioner for Higher Education, Prof. Hope Eghagha to 20 years imprisonment.
 Delivering Judgement, Justice Nyako convicted and sentenced Kelvin Oniarah and Frank Azuekor for  kidnapping and terrorism.
Meanwhile, the Judge discharged Micheal Omonigho, a priest of a shrine, who was jointly arraigned with the convicts.
 The Judge however, opined that some of the 14-count charges for which the convicts were arraigned for, carried life imprisonment but she had to apply her discretion to sentence them to 20 years imprisonment which commenced from the date of their arrest.
 The Trial Judge further  admonished the defendants that being unprivileged in the society is not a validity to committing crimes, as no one has the right to transfer their frustrations and aggressions on other citizens.
