The Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday sentenced two men to 20 years imprisonment for the abduction of a senior lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, and murder of six security operatives.
The convicts – Kelvin Ezeiegbe and Frank Azuekor – were said to have received N40 million ransom before releasing the victim in 2013.
Mr Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), was kidnapped alongside his driver on 23 August 2013 at the Ehor stretch of the Benin-Auchi highway in Edo State.
