The former CP, who served under the administration of Governor Peter Obi, also speaks, in this interview, on the investigation of the murders of a top military officer, Vice Admiral Babatunde Elegbede, and Dr Harry Marshall, a leader of the defunct All Peoples’ Party (APP), which he oversaw. Excerpts:
After serving in the police, what are you doing now?
I retired on October 1, 2009. I stayed in Lagos up till June 2010 when I was appointed the CEO of Kwara State Road Transport Management Authority (KWARTA). I was the CEO of KWARTA for four years before I was appointed the Special Adviser to Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed on Security Matters in February 2014. Since then I have been the SA.
Evans, a suspected kidnapper said to have made a lot of money from abductions, was reportedly chased out of Anambra during your time as CP. He reportedly confessed to running away from the state during the Peter Obi administration of the state. What do you say?
Many armed robbers and kidnappers relocated from Anambra and Evans must have run away at that time because if we had spotted him, I don’t think he will still be alive. He was lucky to have relocated because if he had stayed back, he would have died. But without the full support of Mr Peter Obi, we wouldn’t have done much. He gave us the desired funding and wanted to know the minute-by-minute efforts to combat bank robberies and kidnapping in Anambra State which we stopped and, from 2009 till about 2014, nothing like that happened as I heard in the news because I left as CP in 2010. We did our best to support the state and Obi appreciated it and stood by us all the time.
