Security operatives in Bayelsa state are investigating one Suoyo, mentioned by Evans as the supplier of the weapons he used for his operations.
Evans indicted Suoyo as the person in charge of going into the creeks of Bayelsa to buy weapons for his operations.
”When Suoyo, who lives in Bayelsa state, called me and expressed fears, I also assured him that nothing was going to happen. I told him I was making plans for another operation and needed him to go into the creeks and buy a new set of arms and ammunition,” Evans confessed.
The said supplier of ammunition was arrested on 16 June 2017, by the operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in the state.
It was alleged that Suoyo Dickson, also known as Hustler, was arrested for leading a bandit to blow up a gas pipeline belonging to Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC).
”I used two handsaw blades and handsaw to open up the point, I cut the handle in the valve, I fetched 20 litres of petrol, I lit spark lighter and threw it into the pipe and burnt it.
”I burnt the pipeline because the task force did not keep to their promise of employing us after making us show them our bunkering camps and the subsequent destruction by the military, Suoyo said, in his confessional statement.
”The Suoyo mentioned by Evans seems in all ramifications to be the same suspected arrested by the NSCDC recently in connection with the attack on a pipeline. The security heads in the state believe so and they will surely carry out further investigations to determine his linkage with the Evans’ gang,” a top security source disclosed to The Nation.
