Billionaire Kidnapper ‘Evans’ case starts to look like home movie as he demands N300m damages in another suit

Suspected kidnap king­pin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike (aka Evans) has filed the second suit against the Inspector-General of Police and three others before a Federal High Court in Lagos over his detention.

In the new suit filed on Thursday, Evans claimed N300 million as general and exemplary damages against the police for al­leged illegal detention and unconstitutional media trial.

Joined as respondents in his new originating motion are the Police Force, Com­missioner of Police
Lagos State and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (Lagos State Police Command).
Evans had on June 28 filed an ex parte applica­tion with reference number FHC/L/CS/1012/2017 be­fore the same court, seek­ing an order directing the respondents to charge him to court.

He had also in the al­ternative, sought an order directing the respondents to release him uncondi­tionally where no charge is preferred against him.
In an affidavit deposed to by his father, Mr Ste­phen Onwuamadike, it was averred that the applicant has been subjected to me­dia trial without any court order by the respondents.

Onwuamadike further averred that the media trial and news orchestrated by the respondents have con­tinued to generate reactions in both print and electronic media without his son be­ing afforded fair hearing before a court of law.

Evans contended that his continued detention by the respondents since June 10, without a charge, or release on bail, is an in­fringement on his funda­mental rights.

Mattis' flexibility in deciding how many more troops to send to the war zone reflects Trump's preference to delegate such matters to military commanders.
