Evans Has Accused Police Officers of Stealing Valuable Items From His Home ( SEE LIST)



Is this the case of thieves stealing from a bigger thief? SMH.

Recently Ex GMD of NNPC Andrew Yakubu raised alarm that some suitcases containing money were missing from the list of money found in the hideout.  Today, we are reading a similar report of police officers helping themselves with precious items from Evans resident.

I hope that the authorities will look into this allegations, but going by Nigerian ways of doing things, nothing and absolutely nothing will be done about it. But if we want a clean Nigeria force, then we must join hands to demand that an independent body investigates this. Furthermore, an IG who has been accused of corruption, a chief investigator of the federation could not invest himself to clear his name rather ran under Buhari's skirt to institute a law suit against his accuser.  A corrupt President cannot fight corruption, A corrupt IG cannot give a clean judgement. Its as straight forward as that.

Billionaire kidnapper Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike popularly known as Evans has raised serious allegations against police officers accusing them of stealing money from his house. In a petition by Olukoya Ogungbeje who is the counsel to the kidnapper, it was alleged that officers of the Inspector General of Police’s Intelligence Response Team took cash and valuables from his house.

These allegations were contained in the petition sent to the Police Service Commission, National Assembly, the Inspector General of Police, the National Human Rights Commission, and Amnesty International. The lawyer also accused the police of molesting Evans’ girlfriend, Amaka Offor. Read the petition below: “Our client has duly briefed us on the above captioned subject matter involving the police officers and policemen attached to the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team.

“For the avoidance of doubt, it is our secured brief that in the course of investigating our client while being detained in the custody of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT) on the allegation of kidnapping, the following under-listed items were forcefully and corruptly extorted from our client.
“1. The sum of N50, 000,000 (Fifty Million Naira) cash.
“2. Another sum of N5,000,000 (Five Million Naira) sent by our client’s wife as pressured by the above policemen.
“3. Twenty-five (25) Mack Trucks forcefully taken but not listed as exhibits in the ongoing criminal trial of our client.
 “4. Brigade wristwatch worth One Hundred and Seventeen (117) Thousand U.S Dollars.
“5. Pendant cross worth Seventy (70) Thousand U.S Dollars.
“6. Necklace worth Twenty-Five (25) Thousand U.S Dollars.
“7. Virtu Phone worth Thirty (30) Thousand U.S Dollars.

“Our client also confided in us that one (Amaka Offor) his girlfriend was molested and abused by the above policemen of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT).

“Sir, you would agree with us that these allegations are too weighty to be ignored by any right-thinking Nigerian.
“There is no gainsaying the fact that it calls for prompt investigation, inquiry and appropriate sanctions. We are using this medium as our own way of galvanizing institutional sanity, cleansing and reform in the Nigeria Police Force as an institution.

“As we speak, the brother in law and other relations of our client are still being detained and tortured by the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team."

 Meanwhile, Justice Abdulazeez Anka of the Federal High Court, Lagos on Wednesday, October 11, declined to hear a fundamental rights suit filed by Evans.
