Police Says 'Evans' Still In Custody, he did not disappear

Police has rebutted reports that suspected kidnapper kingpin, Evans, had disappeared from their custody.

After The Sun Newspaper wrote 'Evans Vanishes', on the front page of its Saturday edition, police spokesperson, Jimoh Moshood, told PREMIUM TIMES the story was "blatant falsehood".

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

While acknowledging that 'Evans', had indeed been moved from Lagos as indicated in The Sun's report, a police source told PREMIUM TIMES, that the move was to put an end to the excessive 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.
