Kidnap suspect Chukwudubem Onwuamadike, alias Evans, plotted to escape
from police custody before his arraignment in court, it was learnt at
the weekend.Fortunately, police detectives, especially those in the Intelligence Unit, aborted his plot...
Consequently, the Nigerian Prison Service has formed a heavy security ring around the suspect.
After months of hide and seek, the police arrested Evans on June 10 at
No. 3, Fred Shoboyede, Magodo, Lagos. He is standing trial before an
Ikeja High Court for alleged conspiracy and kidnapping.
The other accused persons are Uche Amadi, Ogechi Uchechukwu, Okwuchukwu Nwachukwu, Chilaka Ifeanyi and Victor Aduba.
All the suspects were on August 29 remanded in Kirikiri Maximum Security Prisons.
Unknown to many Nigerians, the kidnapping kingpin had allegedly tried to
escape from his cell in Abuja after he was transferred from Lagos.
A source spoke of Evans’ plan to give
between $50,000 and $100,000 to one of the guards manning his cell to
facilitate his escape.
The source said Evans was allegedly coordinating his escape bid with
some members of his gang by telephone which he obtained through
“suspicious” means.
It was learnt that intelligence officers and IGP’s Special Tactical Squad detected his plot.
The source said: “When Evans was in our custody, he tried to escape but
we were able to abort all his plans. We discovered that he had access to
phones which were hidden in the middle of loaves of bread, eba,
semovita and so on.
“He was making calls from these smuggled phones in the middle of the
night, making arrangements with some yet to be identified members of his
gang to arrange for his escape.
“We intercepted how he was luring one of the guards with about $50,000
to $100,000. He wanted an insider to serve as informant to him and
members of his gang.”
