Two weeks
after the arrest of a notorious kidnap kingpin, Chukwudimeme Onwuamadike, aka
Evans, the police have yet to determine when the suspect will be
arraigned in
court.
This is just
as the Lagos State Police Command said it was not aware of any other media
interview with Evans since he was paraded on June 11.
The
36-year-old was apprehended on Saturday, June 10, 2017.
He also
revealed his involvement in drug trafficking and robberies.
Six of his
gang members were also paraded.
A Lance
Corporal, Victor Chukwunonso, attached to the Nigeria Army Band Corps, Abatti
Barracks, Surulere, Lagos State, had also been arrested by the police for
allegedly belonging to the kidnappers’ gang.
However, the
police said they were still taking an inventory of Evan’s criminal activities.
The
spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, on
Monday, stated that he would be arraigned after investigations.
He directed
our correspondent to the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Moshood Jimoh, for
details on the arraignment date.
He said,
“After investigations, the Inspector-General of Police will give directive
onwhat to do.
“There are
some other pieces of information about the suspect that must be known to us
about things that happened years ago. We have to update all of them in our
record. You can call the FPRO for other necessary information.”
Famous-Cole
also said the command had not presented Evans to the media for interview since
the June 11 parade, adding that the police were not aware of other purported
interviews with him.
“Journalists
interviewed him during the parade led by the FPRO. Information being put out
now probably came from the parade on that day.
I am not aware of any other parade.”
The FPRO did
not pick calls and had yet to reply to a
text message sent to him as of press time.
