*We’ll try Evans on murder, kidnapping,
robbery - Police
The Nigerian suspected billionaire
kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike aka Evans, yesterday, revealed why he doesn’t
operate in south west.
This was even the Nigeria Police
Force, yesterday, disclosed that Evans would soon be charged to court on
charges of alleged murder, kidnapping and armed robbery.
According to Evans, he prefers to
operate in Enugu, Abia, Lagos and Edo states. He said he is from Anambra State
and as such, didn’t like carrying out robbery operations or kidnapping in his
state.
He also insisted that he had never
carried out abduction in his state.
He said: “Police tracking located me
in Anambra State, but it was not because I committed robbery or even kidnapped
anyone there. If I kidnapped someone in Lagos, I sometimes go to Anambra State
to collect the ransom, just to avoid detention.”
Challenged that he once carried out
simultaneous robbery operation in Oyo State in 2010, where three banks were
robbed, Evans shrugged his shoulders in repulsion for supposed Yoruba states.
He vehemently said: “No! I have
never operated in any Yoruba state, let alone Oyo State. I have never operated
there; Lagos is my state. I mostly operated from Lagos. Moreover, I also didn’t
like operating in Yoruba states because I don’t know my way around there. I
don’t know the terrains. It’s not right to go where you don’t know, except you
have someone that can lead you.”
Evans also ceased the opportunity of
speaking with New Telegraph to dispel outrageous ‘lies’ being peddled in social
media and online sites.
Yesterday, the Force Public
Relations Officer (FPRO), Mr. Jimoh Moshood, said investigations into the
alleged crimes against Evans and his gang members, had reached advanced
stages.
He added that the judicial process
for his conviction or otherwise, will "soon" begin before a court of
competent jurisdiction.
Moshood said: “Evans is going to be
taken to court very soon, on completion of investigation."
When asked where the billionaire
suspect will be tried, in view of the fact that he had committed the alleged offences
in different states,
Moshood responded: "He will be
tried before a court of competent jurisdiction."
