Suspected kidnap kingpin Chukwudumeje George Onwuamadike (aka Evans)
has confessed that a gunshot scar on his shoulder came from the injury
he sustained during a 2006 bank robbery in Lagos.
This is contrary to his earlier claim that he got the injury during a fracas following a drug business in South Africa in 2007.
Evans, who was confronted with a newspaper interview that indicated
the scar was as a result of a gun duel between him and his gang members
at the National Theatre in Surulere, Lagos Mainland, admitted that he
lied earlier.
According to the suspect, he and his gang members robbed a bank in
2006. While sharing the loot, there was a disagreement, which led to a
fight.
He admitted that they started shooting themselves, adding that many
of the robbers died. He was seriously injured and abandoned by the
others.
The kingpin also admitted that he was arrested by the police, adding
that he and two others were transferred to the Imo State Police Command,
where they were released.
The officer in charge of the Inspector General of Police’ (IGP)
Intelligence Response Team (IRT), Abba Kyari, an Assistant Commissioner
of Police (ACP), said:
“Evans was confronted with the interview on Sunday and he
admitted that the bullet wounds are from disagreement over sharing of
loot after bank robbery in Lagos in 2006. They shot one another and many
gang members died while Evans survived with bullet wounds.”
A Superintendent of Police with the Band section of the Police
College in Lagos, simply identified as Tina, reportedly sought to get
the case being put together against Evans after the bank robbery
dropped. Her attempt was rebuffed.
She reportedly travelled to Owerri from where a report was sent
requesting the transfer of Evans to the command because of another case
he was involved in, which they claimed was under investigation.
The kingpin was quietly released inOwerri. Tina is believed to be related to Evans’ mother.
The Nation reports that the police were out to fish out all those who
participated in the 2006 release of Evans and two of his gang members.
They are to be prosecuted.
A source told them:
“It is true that they have started looking for that Tina woman and many
other officers who were serving at the Imo State Command at that time
that Evans was released. So many heads will roll in this matter.”
