Joseph Emeka, one of the co-defendants of alleged kidnapping kingpin, Chukwudimeme Onwuamadike alias Evans, yesterday, told an Ikeja Special Offences Court that he was losing his sight.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Emeka is facing trial alongside Onwuamadike, Chiemeka Arinze and Udeme Upong for attempted kidnap of Chief Vincent Obianodo, the Chairman of Young Shall Grow Motors.

“I am not seeing clearly. I have told my lawyer, and my lawyer said he had spoken to you,” Emeka, the second defendant in the case, told the judge, Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo.

Following the submission, his counsel, Mr N.C. Onyejiaka, moved an ex parte motion asking the court to order the medical director of the Kirikiri Correctional Centre to provide a detailed medical report on Emeka’s vision problem.

The judge acknowledged Emeka’s medical issues and granted his counsel’s request and adjourned the case to November 29. (NAN)
