Following several inaccurate media reports alleging that the notorious billionaire kidnapper Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, also known as Evans who was arrested on June 10th in Lagos, was no longer in Lagos police custody and his whereabouts was no longer known, the Nigeria Police Force has moved swiftly to deny the media reports.
The Force spokesperson Jimoh Moshood spoke with newsmen this morning to debunk the reports noting that, “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.”
