The Nigeria Police Force has
faulted the claim by Counsel to billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike
also known as Evans, Olukoya Ogungbeje, that officers of the Inspector General
of Police’s Intelligence Response Team extorted over N50m and other valuables
worth millions of naira from his clients.
Reacting to the allegation, Force
PRO, Moshood Jimoh in a statement Sunday night described the allegation as
baseless and cry of an already sinking man.
The police spokesman said, “The
attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to publications in the
media on 14th October, 2017 that “Evans’ lawyer accuses police of extorting
over N50 million, other valuables” from his client and another report that
“Police Sexually molesting Evan’s Girlfriend, Amaka Offor” credited to one
Olukoya Ogungbeje.
“The two publications were found
out to be absolute falsehood, misleading, unfounded and deliberate attempt to
cast aspersion on the thorough and discrete investigation carried out by the
Nigeria Police Force in all the offences committed by Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike
(popularly known as Evans) who has pleaded guilty in court to multiple
kidnappings, murder, armed robbery and other capital offences.
“Virtually all the items
erroneously claimed by Olukoya Ogungbeje to have been forcefully and
corruptibly extorted from his client were found out to have been exaggerated.
For avoidance of doubt, all monetary exhibits and other valuable properties
including houses and exotic vehicles were not extorted but recovered by the IGP
Intelligence Response Team during the investigation into the several cases of
kidnappings, murder, armed robbery and other capital offences linked to
Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike (popularly known as Evans) were duly registered and
will be tendered in court as exhibits as the trial progresses.
“It is pertinent to disabuse the
minds of the public who must have read the story that no police personnel
within the team or anywhere else involved in the investigation of all the cases
linked to Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike (popularly known as Evans) engage in any
sexually molestation of the alleged Evan’s girlfriend Amaka Offor as claimed.
This allegation is entirely untrue and incorrect.
“The Nigeria Police Force sees
these publications as a deliberate distraction and ill motives by Olukoya
Ogungbeje to pervert the end of justice. He is advised to face his client’s
case in court and not misleading the public.
“The Force hereby enjoined
members of the public to disregard and discountenance the unfounded
publications.”
