Chukwudumeje Onwuamadike, billionaire
kidnapper popularly known as Evans, says he has no
hand in suits filed against the police to secure his
release.
In an interview with Channels TV on Sunday, Evans
said he did not liaise with any lawyer or any party to
file the suit on his behalf.
Evans had on June 28 filed a fundamental rights
enforcement suit at the federal high court in Lagos
asking the court to compel the police to release him .
In the ex parte application with reference number FHC/
L/CS/1012/2017, he asked the court to direct the
police to either charge him to court immediately or
release him from custody unconditionally.
He had subsequently filed another suit against the
inspector general of police and three other parties,
claiming N300 million as general and exemplary
damages against the police for “illegal detention and
unconstitutional media trial”.
But Evans dissociated himself from the lawsuits filed
by Olukoya Ogungbeje.
He said the lawsuits were an attempt by some people
to put him in more trouble.
“I have no hand in any case filed against the police
and I did not speak with any lawyer or my father to fill
a case on my behalf,” he was quoted to have said.
“All I will say is that they should temper justice with
mercy.”
He was further quoted to have said that if he is
released by the police, he would not leave detention
because his kidnap victims would kill him.
