EVANS HAVE BEEN ARRESTED IN 2006 BUT HE WENT UNPUNISHED

A senior police officer whose name has been concealed to protect him from prosecution, has said that Evans was arrested in Imo state, but regained freedom afterwards. He told newsmen that Evans was arrested in 2006, after his gang of robbers attacked a commercial bank in Lagos.

According to the source which spoke to The Punch, the robbers went somewhere around the National Arts Theatre, Iganmu, to share the loot.

While sharing the loot, the robbers had a disagreement and shot one another. Seven members of the gang died instantly. The then Divisional Police Officer of Iponri Police Station, Yahaya Bello, now a deputy commissioner of police, was in the know of the incident, the sources claimed.

According to the Senior officer, it was confirmed that one of the members of the gang arrested then was Chukwudi Onuamadike, popularly known as Evans. "If you look at his chest, I cannot remember whether it is the right or left side, there is a scar. It was as a result of the gunshot from his gang members that day.

Evans led the team. We also went to Mbidi Police Station, Imo state, to carry out an investigation on them. We were able to arrest two other members of the gang.

But when she was unable to achieve her aim, she travelled to Imo state." Not long after, police in Lagos state, got a message from the Imo state police command saying that they had been searching for Evans and asked for the robber's case to be transferred.

The source reports that the Imo state command said they would continue from where the investigations had stopped in Lagos. "Since that time, we did not hear anything. We heard he was later released there," said the source.

The senior police officer further stressed that Evans was not the only one released, other members were most likely set free. "The request was that we should transfer the case to them.
