“It’s a lie, Suspected Kidnapper Evans Still in Police Detention”, says Lagos Police
Contrary to The Sun’s publication on Saturday that the arrested notorious kidnapper Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike alias Evans has disappeared from detention, Police Authority in Lagos has said that there is no iota of truth in the said publication and the rumor flying around that the arrested kidnapper has escaped. In a telephone conversation between Wale Abideen, Managing Editor of SECURITY MONITOR and Famous-Cole, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, ASP and spokesperson of Lagos Police Command, the police affirmed that Evans is it custody. “Its not true, the suspected kidnapper is still in police custody”, the police image maker said as he cautions Nigerians against false publications.
Evans was arrested earlier in June from his mansion at Magodo Estate, Lagos for multiple kidnappings. A reward of N30 million was placed by the force for any useful information that could lead to his arrest. The notorious kidnapper has been on the police wanted list for over seven years
On Saturday 25th of June, the police hierarchy officer said that the force is under serious pressure to release Evans, the Billionaire Kidnap Kingpin.
Acting Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Galadanshi Dasuki while addressing news men at the Command Headquarters, Ikeja, said that the Police were not in a hurry to release Evans, inspite of calls from different quarters to do so.
This may have triggered the rumor flying around like kite that the most wanted Evans has escaped from detention
