Billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeje Onwuamadike, also known
as Evans, on Sunday said he did not ask any lawyer to sue the police in a bid
to secure his release.
Evans made the disclosure in an interview with Channels
Television.
Evans claimed that the lawsuit by a Lagos lawyer, Olukoya
Ogungbeje against the police were an attempt by some people to put him in more
trouble.
He said, “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.
“All I will say is that they should temper justice with
mercy.”
The 36-year-old father of five said should the police
release him, he would not leave detention because his kidnap victims would kill
him.
Recall that Ogungbeje had on June 28 filed a fundamental
rights enforcement suit at the federal high court in Lagos seeking that the
court compel police to release Evans.
In the suit, Evans asked the court to compel the Nigerian
Police Force to either “charge him to court or release him from custody”.
