Kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme George Onwuamadike alias Evans
The police said today that the arrested kidnap kingpin,
Chukwudumeme George Onwuamadike alias Evans is still in their custody
and has not vanished. The spokesman of Police Jimoh Moshood, a Chief
Superintendent of Police (CPS), said Evans was safe and still under
police watch.
Moshood was denying a sensational story published today by a Nigerian newspaper that Evans had vanished in police cell and is no more communicado. Moshood urged Nigerians to not fret over the reported “vanishing” of suspected kidnap kingpin.
Moshood said investigation was still ongoing, adding that the suspect would be charged to court as soon as all ends were tied.
“The media need to avoid stories that could create fear,
tension or misrepresentation among the masses. Where did Evans vanish
to? That headline was misleading. The suspect and his accomplices are
very much in our custody.
“We are working hard to ensure that justice is served at the
end of the day. There are certain information that are not for public
consumption to avoid jeopardising investigation or even national
security.
“Evans is with the police. His whereabouts is known but cannot
be made public. We are appealing to Nigerians to remain calm and support
the police to conclude its investigation.”
