Evans and his co-defendants were before the court on four count charges of conspiracy, kidnapping and unlawful possession of arms.
They were accused of conspiring and kidnapping Sylvanus Ahanonu Hafia at about 5:30pm on June 23, 2014, at Kara Street, Amuwo Odofin in Lagos and were alleged to have captured and detained Hafia and demanded a ransom of $2 million.
The defendants however pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against them.
