The Police Service Commission has been petitioned by Olukoya Ogungbeje, counsel for suspected billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, a.k.a. Evans.
Ogungbeje in the petition called for the probe of the policemen who handled the case of his client.
Evans’ counsel, in a petition dated October 13, 2017, alleged that members of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team, which handled the case, abused their position to extort his client.
According to him, the team of police investigators, led by Mr. Abba Kyari, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, “forcefully and corruptly extorted” from Evans cash in local and foreign currency as well as various items including phones, wrist watches, jewellery, television, cars and trucks.
Ogungbeje claimed that the policemen forcefully took N50m from Evans, while his wife was also forced to part with another N5m.
The lawyer claimed that a sum of $10,000, was also forcefully taken from the suspect by the police.
