According to a report by Daily Post, Mr. Olukoya Ogungbeje, Counsel
to alleged billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, also known
as Evans, has accused officers of the Inspector General of Police’s
Intelligence Response Team of extorting over N50m and other valuables
worth millions of naira from his clients.
Ogungbeje made the claims in a petition to the Police Service
Commission, PSC, National Assembly, the Inspector General of Police, the
National Human Rights Commission, and Amnesty International.
In the petition, Ogungbeje also accused the Inspector General of
Police’s Intelligence Response Team of sexually molesting Evans’
girlfriend, Amaka Offor.
The petition is captioned: “The Evans Case and Saga: Brazen
Extortion, Corruption, Gross Misconduct, Indiscipline, Sexual
Molestation and Human Rights Violation Against the Inspector General of
Police Intelligence Response Team Police Officers and Policemen.”
The petition reads, “Our client has duly briefed us on the
above captioned subject matter involving the police officers and
policemen attached to the Inspector General of Police Intelligence
Response Team.
“For the avoidance of doubt, it is our secured brief that in
the course of investigating our client while being detained in the
custody of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team

“our client also confided in us that one (Amaka Offor) his
girlfriend was sexually molested and abused by the above policemen of
the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT).”
Ogungbeje called on the Police Service Commission to probe his
allegations and invoke appropriate sanctions including dismissal against
the culpable police officers.
“Sir, you would agree with us that these allegations are too weighty to be ignored by any right-thinking Nigerian.
“There is no gainsaying the fact that it calls for prompt
investigation, inquiry and appropriate sanctions. We are using this
medium as our own way of galvanizing institutional sanity, cleansing and
reform in the Nigeria Police Force as an institution.
“As we speak, the brother in law and other relations of our
client are still being detained and tortured by the Inspector General of
Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT)
