Kidnapper ‘Evans’ Chukwudubem George Onwuamadike and How Justice Caught
Up with him!
Evans targeted people living in Festac, Amuwo Odofin, Ikoyi, Lekki
and Victoria Island in Lagos, and also extended his nefarious activities
to Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta States. He was the mastermind of the
attempted kidnap of Chief Vincent Obianudo, the owner of Young Shall
Grow Motors in Festac, in August 2013.
Evans was notorious for splashing his ill-gotten money on luxury houses and goods instead of depositing the money in the bank so as not to attract attention.
Evans, 36 and a native of Anambra State in Southern Nigeria, has been described as “most wanted, vicious and highly notorious.” He is alleged to have masterminded a series of high-profile kidnappings in the country in recent years, according to Nigeria’s police. Evans” kidnapping victims included foreign nationals, traditional chiefs and wealthy businessmen. He became one of Nigeria’s wealthiest criminals through these nefarious travails. Nigeria Police says Evans owns two mansions in an upmarket district of Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub, as well as two properties in Accra, the capital of neighboring Ghana.
According to Nigeria’s police force, Evans would use two separate gangs to conduct kidnappings: one to carry out the abduction and another to transfer the victim to a safe house. The gang leader extracted million-dollar ransoms from the families of his victims, whom he would keep in captivity for months at a time. In one case, Evans’ gang allegedly attempted to double a $1 million ransom because the victim’s family were rude during the negotiation process.
Police raided a Lagos property belonging to Evans on Saturday June 10th and engaged in a gun battle with the suspect and his associates. Security forces eventually overpowered them and arrested seven people in the operation, while also seizing 10 guns and more than 1,000 rounds of AK-47 ammunition.
“This is a huge success for the Nigeria Police Force. The Force will build on this success and continue to prevent kidnap cases and criminality generally in the country,” said Jimoh Moshood, police public relations officer at the force’s headquarters in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
The 36-year-old native of Nnewi in Anambra State specialized in
collecting ransoms in dollars, making the family of his victims pay as
much as N300 million to N400 million to secure their release.
