Anslem told the court that on 15 February 2017, a day after Mr Dunu’s abduction, he spoke with the claimant on phone and he instructed him to pay his abductors N100 million as a ransom for his release.Anslem added that it was one of his relatives, one Uchenna Okagwu that delivered the sum of 233,000 Euros to the abductors.In his defence, Evans contended that the strength of the claimant’s case was predicated majorly upon the criminal trial against him and others in Suit No. 1D/5970C/2017.
He argued that the evidence of Okagwu who delivered the said ransom to the abductors was the only direct evidence and must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
