Before he knew it, \u201cBishop\u201d and \u201cPapa\u201d dragged the two brothers out of their car to another car and instructed him to go to the front seat, while \u201cBishop\u201d and the victims were kept at the back of the car, and \u201cPapa\u201d took the victims\u2019 car away.<\/p>\n<p>In a one-hour judgment on Friday, the trial judge, Justice Gabriel Ette, described Ibe Francis Emeka as \u201can innocent man and a victim who happened to be in the company of the wrong guys in the wrong place and at the wrong time by inadvertence,\u201d adding that \u201cthe only difference between him and the other victims was that no ransom was placed on his head.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was, like the main victims, put in the same room with them; that piece of evidence was not debunked. He was precluded from leaving the camp, hence his decision to escape with the victims. If he was a kidnapper, his access and exit would not have been restricted or curtailed, as shown in evidence. The real kidnappers left the camp; he was not allowed freedom of movement. That is why I see him as an innocent victim too,\u201d Justice Ette held.<\/p>\n<p>The Court also noted that \u201cthe first defendant initiated the escape plan and the victims in their extra-judicial statements corroborated the fact,\u201d stressing that \u201cif the first defendant came from Aba to Uyo to make money through kidnapping as alleged by the prosecution, why then was he the one who initiated and aided the escape of the victims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Justice Ette said, \u201cIt is in evidence that the first defendant did not run away upon their escape, but followed the victims to their residence, got refreshed, had his bath, and stayed behind with them till the DSS showed up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven in the house of the victims and in the presence of the DSS officers, \u2018Papa\u2019 texted the first defendant and vowed to kill him for aiding the escape of the victims, and he showed the text to his hosts, who showed it to the DSS officers. If these do not paint a different picture of the person of the first defendant, then it will be a surprise to me. I had the opportunity to watch the demeanor of the first defendant in court; he didn\u2019t come across to me as a hardened criminal. He was sincere in his testimony,\u201d Justice Ette further held.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe became like Jonathan in the camp of King Saul, his father, who had no reason to die but for filial considerations. The lesson being; do not be found an innocent man in the camp of the wrong men. I advise him to be careful with those he calls friends. Unlike Jonathan, Ibe Francis Emeka won\u2019t die, at least not in my hands. Today, I have the honor of breaking the chains of bondage that held him down for 10 years in the custodial center. I declare him not guilty indeed of the six counts charge and free him accordingly,\u201d the court held<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The convicted native doctor was arraigned on a six-count charge for conspiracy, kidnapping, and armed robbery, in which he was found guilty One Sunday George Andrew, a native doctor from Ikono Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom state, has been sentenced to death by hanging for kidnapping two brothers.
