Suspected kidnapper, Chukwudumeje Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans, has said he did not ask any lawyer to sue the police in a bid to secure his release.
Evans spoke on Sunday in an interview with Channels Television.
Evans claimed that the lawsuit by a Lagos lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje against the police were an attempt by some people to put him in more trouble.
He said, “I have no hand in any case filed against the police and I did not speak with any lawyer or my father to fill a case on my behalf.
“All I will say is that they should temper justice with mercy.”
The 36-year-old father of five said should the police release him, he would not leave detention because his kidnap victims would kill him.

In the new suit, Evans is claiming N300 million as general and exemplary damages against the police for “illegal detention and unconstitutional media trial”.
