I Made My First Statement Under Duress, Evans Tells Court by arabmoney101(m): 8:53am On Jan 17, 2019
An alleged kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike a.k.a Evans has denied his confessional statement after his arrest in 2017, saying it was made under duress.

Evans told Justice Adedayo Akintoye of Igbosere High Court, Lagos on Wednesday that he signed the statement to save him from being tortured to death.

Evans is currently facing charges, bordering on conspiracy to kidnap, kidnapping and attempted murder before Justice Akintoye.

In the first charge, Evans is standing trial alongside Joseph Emeka, Ugochukwu Nwachukwu and Victor Aduba.

In the second charge, he is standing trial alongside Joseph Emeka, Linus Okpara and Victor Aduba.

At the resumed hearing, Evans gave details of how members of Inspector General of Police (IGP) Intelligence Response Team allegedly tortured and killed several others who were paraded alongside him in his presence.

He said that the security agents tortured the victims by suffocating them with plastic bags and threatened to do same to him if he failed to cooperate with them.

Evans said that some sheets of papers were brought for him to sign, adding that some of the papers were blank while others had things written on them.

“When I asked what I was to sign the police officers slapped me and even quenched a cigarette on my hand.

“The officers were beating me and told me that if anything happens to me, no one will know. They hit my head and blood was gushing, the scars are still on my head.

“When I saw how five men, who were paraded with me, were tortured and killed, I agreed to sign the papers with fear of what happened to the other men,” Evans said.

He also said that the contents of the papers he signed were not read to him and that there was no video recording during the statement taking.

Evans gave the details while a trial within a trial was conducted to ascertain whether his statement was taken under duress or not.

They are marginalising Evans because he is Biafran
If he was an Ab0ki or an Afonja, will they treat him like this?

They are jealous of we Biafrans because we Umuchineke. Children of the Most High.

Evans, don't worry. Chukwu Okike is with you. The god of Kanu would come and bail you.

The Heroes of children of hate and perdition, pigs, criminals has spoken.
When Evans the kidnapper say something against Buhari (just like he did the other day) he becomes an hero. When you say their heroes and spokespersons lack integrity (IBB, OBJ, Fayose, RENO FFK, Saraki, GEJ, etc)...then they say look at the message not the messenger ( what meaningful words do the robber want to utter?)

miltonchux:
They have not tortured you enough. Criminal that made life unbearable for the rich in Festac Town. He should be burnt alive.
Lol cheesy, you've said the whole TRUTH.
He would have been sentenced accordingly in saner climes.

The torture tactics of our police is why most cases are lost.

Can't imagine Evans having a voice but the police have given him one.

We have a very unprofessional police force.

If they carried on their investigations very well and have evidences.

If Evans lies in his statement, it will make it worse for him.


Now.. See case derailings.

It's not your fault.

Assuming they kidnapped your daddy and your family sold you to raise money, you won't be talking nonsense here.
