Suspected kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeje George Onwuamadike, aka Evans, was allegedly arrested in 2006 for bank robbery. But a policewoman helped him evade justice.
There was a gun duel between Evans and members of his gang at the National Theatre in Lagos, while sharing the loot from the operation.
They started shooting themselves and many of the robbers died. He was seriously injured and abandoned by the others.
Evans recalls that he was arrested by the police, before he and two others were transferred to the Imo State Police Command, where they were released.
“Evans was confronted with the interview on Sunday and he admitted that the bullet wounds are from disagreement over sharing of loot after bank robbery in Lagos in 2006.
“They shot one another and many gang members died while Evans survived with bullet wounds,” the officer in charge of the Inspector General of Police’ (IGP) Intelligence Response Team (IRT), Abba Kyari, an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), said.
A police source added: “The then divisional police officer of Iponri police station, Yahaya Bello, now a deputy commissioner of police, said there was a serious incident involving some persons who shot at one another. He said about three of them had been arrested,” the source said.
