The lawyer representing billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike (popularly
known as Evans), has accused officers of the Inspector General of Police’s
Intelligence Response Team of extorting money and valuables running into
hundreds of millions of naira from his client.
Olukoya Ogungbeje, who petitioned the Police
Service Commission on Friday, also accused the officers of sexually
molesting Evans’ girlfriend, Amaka Offor.
The petition was also copied to the National
Assembly, the Inspector General of Police, the National Human Rights
Commission, and Amnesty International.
“Our client has duly briefed us on the above
captioned subject matter involving the police officers and policemen attached
to the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team,” read the
petition captioned in part ‘The Evans Case and Saga: Brazen Extortion,
Corruption, Gross Misconduct, Indiscipline, Sexual Molestation and Human Rights
Violation Against the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team
Police Officers and Policemen.’
Jimoh Moshood, the Force Public Relations
Officer, did not immediately respond to requests for comments.
Evans pleaded guilty to two counts of
conspiracy and kidnapping last August, and is currently at the
Kirikiri Maximum Prison awaiting sentencing by a Lagos court.
But in this latest development, Mr. Ogungbeje
accused the police, who detained him (Evans) for almost three months, before
his first appearance in court, of forcefully collecting millions of naira as
well as valuables and properties from his client.
“For the avoidance of doubt, it is our secured
brief that in the course of investigating our client while being detained in
the custody of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT)
on the allegation of kidnapping, the following under-listed items were
forcefully and corruptly extorted from our client.
1. The
sum of N50, 000,000 (Fifty Million Naira) cash.
2. Another sum of N5,000,000 (Five Million
Naira) sent by our client’s wife as pressured by the above policemen.
3. Twenty-five (25) Mack Trucks forcefully
taken but not listed as exhibits in the ongoing criminal trial of our client.
4. Brigade wristwatch worth One Hundred and
Seventeen (117) Thousand U.S Dollars.
5. Pendant cross worth Seventy (70) Thousand
U.S Dollars.
6. Necklace worth Twenty-Five (25) Thousand U.S
Dollars.
7. Virtu Phone worth Thirty (30) Thousand U.S Dollars.
8. Virtu Signature Phone worth Seventeen (17)
Thousand U.S Dollars.
9. Ten (10) Thousand U.S Dollars cash extorted
by ASP Phillip Rieninwa.
10. Five (5) Pieces of Saphono Rucci Diamond
Rings worth One Hundred (100) Thousand U.S Dollars.
11. Lexus 470 Jeep.
12.
Grand Cherokee Jeep.
13. L 400 Mitsubishi Bus.
14. Toyota Highlander (Gold Colour).
15. Eighty-Five (85) Inches Samsung Television
set worth 6.5 Million Naira amongst others.
The lawyers added that, “our client also
confided in us that one (Amaka Offor) his girlfriend was sexually molested and
abused by the above policemen of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence
Response Team (IRT),” the petition read.
The petition urged the Police Service
Commission to conduct an investigation into the incident and invoke
appropriate sanctions including dismissal against the culpable police
officers.
“Sir, you would agree with us that these
allegations are too weighty to be ignored by any right-thinking Nigerian.
“There is no gainsaying the fact that it calls
for prompt investigation, inquiry and appropriate sanctions. We are using this
medium as our own way of galvanizing institutional sanity, cleansing and reform
in the Nigeria Police Force as an institution.
“As we speak, the brother in law and other
relations of our client are still being detained and tortured by the Inspector
General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT) without being arraigned
before a Court of law,” the petition added. Source Premium Times
