 Nigeria Police Says Billionaire kidnapper 'Evans' Is In Police Custody, Did Not Vanish 

The police on Saturday denied reports that suspected kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, had disappeared from police custody, weeks after his arrest dominated the headlines.

Hours after The Sun Newspapers emblazoned 'Evans Vanishes' on the front page of its Saturday edition, the police spokesperson, Jimoh Moshood, told PREMIUM TIMES the story was laced with "blatant falsehood".

Citing unnamed sources, The Sun suggested that the suspect might have "escaped, or died" because he was nowhere to be found during a visit it made to the police command headquarters in Lagos.

While acknowledging that Mr. Onwuamadike had indeed been moved from Lagos as indicated in The Sun's report, a police source told PREMIUM TIMES Saturday that the move was put an end to the frivolous media coverage of his stay in custody for proper interrogation.

"But the notion that he had somehow disappeared from custody or that police were not willing to give updates about his whereabouts is simply absurd," the official added.
