Evans is in police custody, doing fine, says Police

THE Police high command has dismissed report of alleged
disappearance or death of billionaire kidnapper, Chukwuduneme
Onwuamadike, alias Evans, in its custody.

It said contrary to the report, the kidnapper was not only
firmly in its custody hale and hearty but also was very much
assisting it in its ongoing investigation of alleged crimes he
perpetrated while holding sway in his profession.

Reacting to the report following enquiry from newsmen, Weekend,
in Abuja, Force Headquarters, through its spokesman, Jimoh Moshood,
a Deputy Superintendent of Police, DSP, insisted that Evans never
vanished from its custody nor died as being rumoured.

But Moshood described those peddling the rumour as mischief
makers who were only out to tarnish the hard earned image of the
Nigerian Police not only in crime fighting but also prevention as
well as investigation.

Reminded that the story was in one of the conventional media
platforms already, Mr Moshood responded: “The people are just
mischievous. Evans did not vanish, Evans is still in police custody
and we are making progress in the investigation.”

He added: “You know we have a warrant from the court to keep him
for three month and we are in the first month. Evans did not
vanish.”

When told that there was another information that the recently
arrested kidnapper had been transferred to Abuja, the Force Public
Relations Officer said:”I don’t know, if you have that kind of
information, why are you calling me again to say Evans vanished?
”

Informed that an online platform had carried a story to that
effect, Moshood said:”It is unfortunate that the online has become
a comedian centre since nobody has given report that Evans has
vanished.”

He further clarified: “Evans did not vanish, vanish into where?
Is it evaporation we call it or what? Evans is still in police
custody; he is hale and healthy and he has been assisting the
police further in their investigation. So, he is in police
custody.”

Recall that a media organization (Not Thenigerialawyer), had
reported Saturday, that Evans, Nigeria’s infamous billionaire
kidnapper, was no longer in the media glare unlike the past few
weeks, thus fuelling speculations that he’s escaped, or dead.
