The Assistant Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari
who led the Special Intelligence Response Team (SIRT) of the Lagos state
police command that arrested notorious kidnap kingpin Chukwudubem
Onwuamadike popularly knows as Evans, has declared that about ninety
percent of information being reeled out about Evans on social media is
false.
We reports that the senior police
officer said that just like most Nigerians; he woke up every morning to
hear different false stories on social media pertaining to how they
arrested Evans and what he said.
In a message on his Facebook page, Abba Kyari said: “Friends:
There is a need to clear the air on some issues that are
misinforming/misleading the good members of the public who are
passionate about fighting crime.
“First, 90 percent of all information relating
to the arrest of Evans and what Evans said that’s being shared on social
media and some print media are false.
“Just like most Nigerians, I wake up every
morning and hear different false stories on social media pertaining to
how we arrested Evans and what he said.
“Second, the actual strategy and technology we
used in arresting vampire, Evans and other big kidnappers is known to
only me and very few senior officers I am working together with in the
FHQ.
“Third, someone like Evans would never have
been arrested based on the few technics that were officially mentioned
or the ones circulating in social media which are actually technics
already known to criminals.
“We’ve gone ahead of those technics. Our real
strategy and technology used in picking Evans and his gang members have
never been mentioned to the media or members of the public, and will
never be mentioned.
“Fourth, Evans faced the media twice; first
when he was paraded in the Lagos command HQ by the Force Public
Relations Officer and secondly when he took irt detectives to his
detention camps in Lagos for the world to witness him taking the police
to his camp that only him and his boys knows. This is so that in future
he cannot deny acquiring and operating kidnapper’s detention camps in
Lagos.
“Fifth, please I urge members of the public to
focus more on what they see or hear from major newspapers and television
stations who have names to protect and avoid the avalanche of lies and
fictions that is coming out from blogs and social media everyday.
“Yes we agree Evans is the biggest and most
notorious criminal arrested during the social media age in Nigeria, but
there should be some decree of decorum and honesty in reporting news
please. Many thanks to all our friends and well-wishers, may the Almighty bless us all in our endeavors.
We had previously reported that Evans dragged the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris and three others before the Federal High Court in Lagos over alleged illegal detention.
