Emerging
reports have it that three suspects linked to Evans, the kidnapper have
regained their freedom after being granted bail.

A disturbing dramatic interplay is rearing its ugly head over the
ongoing investigation into allegations of kidnapping and armed robbery
against Chukwudem Onwamadike a.k.a Evans, and other suspects who were
recently, rounded up by the police in Lagos.
This is also as sources disclosed that the dreaded kidnap kingpin,
Evans, has not been opening up well to interrogators about his
accomplices although he was said to have mentioned one name.
Though details of the disclosure were still sketchy as at press
time, sources said investigators were discreet over the case but were
seriously looking into his allegations with a view to establishing its
veracity and effecting arrest.
The drama started after three of the suspects who were earlier
detained before the suspected kingpin, Evans, was arrested, were granted
bail by a Yaba Magistrate court. The trio, Kingsley Egbeonu, Emeka
Egbuligha and Tochukwu Nwosu, all staff of Maydon Pharmacy in Ilupeju,
whose owner, Chief Dona Dunu, escaped from Evans’ kidnappers den at
Igando, were accused of masterminding the kidnap of their boss. They
were subsequently arrested after their boss escaped and narrated his
sordid experiences while in captivity.
Chief Dunu who parted with a huge ransom of N150m, reportedly
alleged that while in the den of his abductors, he heard the voice one
of the Pharmacist under his employ, discussing with the kidnappers. He
further alleged that his abductors, while negotiating for ransom,
revealed vital information about his company known only to his workers
and that he also overheard them discussing how to remove goods from his
warehouse not knowing that he would survive to disclose their
identities.
Based on these allegations, police investigators swung into action
and arrested three of his staff, remanding them in their custody with
court order. It was gathered that after the arrest of the celebrated
kidnap kingpin, Evans and his subsequent parade at the command
headquarters, Ikeja, an identification parade was carried out and both
Evans and other members of his gang said they did not know the three
staff of the pharmaceutical company. Furthermore, a search at the
warehouse of the company showed that nothing was tampered with contrary
to earlier claims by the victim that he overheard one of the suspects
discussing with his abductors how to part with his goods in the
warehouse.
Saturday Vanguard learned that after this, their lawyers went to a
Yaba Magistrate court to vacate police detention order placed on their
heads. Meanwhile, while the accused workers were jubilating over their
freedom, their estranged boss was gnashing his teeth, lamenting that
police not only failed to provide him with security after he escaped
from kidnapper’s den but also did not do a good job following which
those he suspected as key accomplices in the kidnap saga have been
freed. This, according to sources close to him, has endangered his life
the more and his family is accusing the police of negligence.
“Our brother not only narrated how he heard the voice of one of
his workers while in captivity but also gave vivid details of how his
abductors were reeling out details of his company activities before
collecting a huge ransom. All we are saying is that police abysmally
failed to live up to billing in the court and even while investigating
the suspected members of his staff.
We strongly believe that one of the members of Evan’s gang who
was arrested with his wife is related to one of the suspected workers,
and the fact that they denied knowing him does not mean that he should
be freed. If not, how did they get information about the 40 cars he gave
to his dedicated staff sometime ago. How did they know about his
warehouse? These are related issues that should make police investigate
them properly,” the family source stated.
On their part, police sources said Chief Dunu has not been showing up since he escaped from the den of the kidnappers. “As
soon as he got his freedom, he disappeared without giving police his
contact. We managed to get him to make statements later and after that,
we did not see him again.
Just imagine, almost all the victims have been coming forward,
not only to commend police for the arrest of their tormentor, but to
also make useful statements that could assist us carry out successful
investigations into the criminal activities of the gang and their leader
but Chief Dunu remains incommunicado. What do you expect us to do? Go
and arrest and force him to aid our investigations or what?
Meantime, Saturday Vanguard learned that lawyers to the released
staff of his company are threatening to go to court to redeem the image
of their clients which they said had been so much bruised and battered
by their arrest over the kidnap case.
One of the lawyers was overheard saying that the case was adjoined
for next month to enable police conclude their investigations and if
eventually they are exonerated, which we are sure will happen, they will
seek redress in court against the Chief for defamation of character and
wrongful detention by the police.
Similarly, Saturday Vanguard gathered from reliable police sources
that Evans might be flown to Force Headquarters, Abuja to meet with the
police hierarchy for thorough interrogation over his criminal
activities.
Already, efforts were been made to prepare him for the meeting
which sources said could include meeting with the Inspector-General of
Police, Ibrahim Idris. Detectives attached to the Intelligence Response
Team, IRT, of the IGP’s special squad are still taking the kidnap
kingpin to places in Lagos and environs with a view to identifying all
the houses he used as cells during his escapades.
In another development, Saturday Vanguard learned also that the
suspected kingpin has been making frantic efforts to meet with a
reporter who interviewed his wife who spke from Ghana, on phone. Sources
said he has been appealing to policemen guarding him to “please, in
the name of God, beg Emma Nnadozie of Vanguard to come and see me let’s
discuss something about my wife he spoke with on phone.”
