Police arrest Lagos soldier who worked for Evans, got N6.5m

A soldier, Victor Chukwunonso, said to be a gang member of the notorious kidnap kingpin, Chukwudimeme Onwuamadike, aka Evans, has been arrested by the police.
Chukwunonso, lance corporal, with Army No: 09/NA/64/6317 is attached to the Nigeria Army Band Corps, Abatti Barracks, Surulere, Lagos State.
The police said the soldier, who hails from Onitsha, Anambra State, confessed to have participated in three kidnap operations with Evans, and got N6.5m.
In the course of investigations, Evans was said to have mentioned the soldier as one of his accomplices, leading to his arrest on Friday at Ojo by operatives of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team, led by Abba Kyari.
The police on Saturday said the soldier confessed to his involvement in three kidnap operations, adding that a manhunt has been launched for other members of the gang.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of administration, Lagos State Command, Dansuki Galadanchi, denied a report that the command released one Emeka who allegedly facilitated the abduction of his boss, Chief Donatus Duru, by Evans.
Duru, a pharmacist, had escaped from Evans’ detention camp at New Igando in Lagos.
The DCP said the suspect was arrested, charged to the Ebute Meta Magistrates’ Court and was remanded in prison afterwards.
He added, “But it came as a surprise to the police, when a television station reported that the suspect escaped from our custody. Emeka was never in our custody. We charged him to court immediately we arrested him.”

Cashless policy: Reps, CBN agree no time limit for old naira notes 31/01/2023

Published by ECHEKWU SUNDAY JNR @ EKUM BLOG The House of Representatives and the Central Bank of Nigeria have agreed that a time limit will no longer apply to the validity of old naira notes after the expiration of the February 10 deadline set by the apex bank. This means that the face value of the old N1000, N500 and N200 notes will continue to be redeemable in compliance with Section 20 (3) of the CBN Establishment Act. Banks will continue to mop up the notes after they cease to be legal tender on February 10 without a time limit. The CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, was directed to submit a weekly report on releases of the new notes to commercial banks so that the House could verify claims by the CEOs of the banks that the apex bank had not been releasing enough cash to them. The CBN was also directed to restore over-the-counter transactions by the banks and increase Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cash withdrawal limits in order to fast-track the circulation of the new no
