- Ibrahim Idris has
spoken about the detention of notorious billionaire kidnapper, Evans - He said
the police did a great job and should be commended - He also noted that serious
work was being done to end kidnapping in the country The inspector general of
police, Ibrahim Idris, has addressed the issue of the continued incarceration
of Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike popularly known as Evans. His arrest sparked
nationwide commendation for the police . He promised
that Evans would get a fair hearing and said the police should be commended for
their work in arresting the notorious kidnapper. On the issue of Badoo attacks
in Lagos, Idris said the police force was working to increasing security in the
riverine and remote areas. He noted that the choice of location of some schools
and houses were making security issues difficult citing some schools that were
located inside bushes. He said: “We are trying to improve and enhance how we
deal with criminality in the coastal areas, not only Lagos, but from here to
Port Harcourt and one of our strategic plans is to better equip our marine
police. “We are trying to acquire more gunboats so that we can be very
effective and visible in these coastal areas — somebody will build a school in
an isolated bush. That is why we said when you are looking at criminality, you
have to also look at some factors and try to address those factors as a whole
and not always point at the police. “There is a limit to what we can do; if you
go and build your house in the bush, we are talking of personnel, you cannot
put policemen in every school. If we do that, we are going to have a problem in
addressing other issues. “There are some basic utilities that a school requires
— closed-circuit television cameras. Put some things there to fortify the
school. If the location is bad, make sure you fortify the school. You can have
a security department; hire more security men on the ground. But nobody looks
at some of these factors.”
