The
Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, on Tuesday assured Nigerians
that the police would secure conviction against alleged kidnap kingpins, Henry
Chibueze and Chukwudumebi Onwuamaegbu, also known as Evans.
Idris stated this during his keynote address at a security
lecture in Uyo, Akwa Ibom.
He
commended the National Assembly for passing the anti-kidnapping bill into law
and recommending death sentence for perpetrators.
At the lecture with the theme: “Insecurity, Socio-economic
Impacts and Conflicts Resolution Perspectives”, the IGP said the police would
also ensure that all kidnap suspects are prosecuted in court to checkmate
incessant cases of kidnapping and armed robbery in the country.
“With humility, I must state with some amount of confidence
that these strategies have worked based on successes achieved so far. Most
heinous crimes especially kidnapping and armed robbery which occurred had so
far been detected.
“You are very much aware of the fate of the notorious
kidnapper, Henry Chibueze alias Vampire and the billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudi
alias Evans and many others too numerous to mention here who were arrested and
currently standing trial.
“Considering
the detailed investigation being conducted on these cases, Insha Allah, we must
gain conviction against them,” he said.
