According to Sun Newspaper, Billionaire kidnapper, Evans, who was arrested by the Nigerian Police Force is currently missing from custody at the Lagos Police Headquarters. The newspaper claims that Evans is no longer allowed to grant interviews to the press and has been taken to an unknown location by policemen.
Evans was reportedly moved by thirty heavily armed policemen at midnight few days ago to an undisclosed location leaving the Nigerian public baffled and suspicious.
The following is as reported by the sun newspaper.
The officers argued that he might plot his escape from prison or get across to some of his members who are still on the run. They confirmed that Evans was no longer in the police cell in Lagos. “He has not been returned since he was moved out. Evans is a broken man; police can’t resort to extra-judicial killings at this point. He is cooperating, and he is ready to help return all his ill-gotten wealth as soon as possible”, the officer said. Another source at the police command said: “Evans is not an ordinary criminal. I guess that they took him out for further investigation but I don’t know why they are yet to return him to his cell.” “No one is planning to kill Evans. I believe that they will return him later. He could be in any good cell in the state for security reasons, but I can assure you that he is not dead yet. Even if anything happens to him, if he dies in custody, it will be as a result of cancer which he claims he is suffering from.” Another senior police officer who preferred anonymity assured that the suspected kidnapper is okay.
“He is okay and seriously cooperating with the police in its investigation. From the look of things, he might not spend up to three months in detention before he’s charged to court. As for his location, I assure you that he is in a protective custody somewhere out of town,” the officer said. The police officer speaking with Saturday Sun added: “Within the short period that he spent in our cell, he is already controlling inmates in the cell. They fear and respect him; we do not want to run the risk of allowing him to form another notorious group which is common amongst them.” The officer said his family are yet to approach the police. Evans confirmed that he bought a car for his father and also gave him N3m. The police will recover such money and properties. We will soon get a warrant to pick his father up and possibly his mother, who also benefitted.” Another reliable source at the police command told Saturday Sun “Evans is not an ordinary criminal. I guess that they took him out for further investigation but I don’t know why they are yet to return him to his cell.” The source further assured: “No one is planning to kill Evans. I believe that they will return him later. He could be in any good cell in the state for security reasons, but I can assure you that he is not dead yet. Even if anything happens to him, if he dies in custody, it will be as a result of cancer which he claims he is suffering from.” As at the time of this report both the Lagos police spokesman, Olarinde Famous-Cole and the police force PRO, Moshood Jimoh have neither answered nor responded on Evans’ whereabouts.
Hmmmm.... Let's just hope he does not walk free!
