We don't want his security to be compromised, police tells court as Evans complained improper feeding

The Nigerian Prison Service has denied the allegation made by kidnap suspect, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, known as Evans, that he was being starved in prison.

The kidnap kingpin complained at the Lagos state high court in Ikeja on Friday, November 17 that he is not properly fed.

He complained to the judge that the last time he ate was five days before and begged the court to allow him access to food.

It was reported that the comptroller-general of the prison, Ja'afaru Ahmed, claimed that Evans was denied food from outside prison so as not to compromise his security.

He said:
“In prison, an inmate must eat the food provided, but when they want self-feeding, they can have it, but there is a caveat— their security will not be compromised."

“In Evans’ case, we fear that his security may be compromised. That is why we took necessary measures to ensure that Evans is protected, secure and his access to anything must not be compromised"
