Evans being interrogated by journalists in Lagos
The Nigerian Police Force yesterday paraded one Chukwudi Dumeme
Onuamadike, a.k.a Evans, who it says is the leader of a notorious kidnap
gang behind many abductions that have instilled fear in Nigerians.
Onuamadike was paraded on Sunday along with six suspected top
members of his gang at the headquarters of the Lagos State Police
Command by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Jimoh Moshood. Evans
appeared jittery and reluctant to talk as journalist interrogated him
for details of his crime history as seen in the video at the bottom of
the report.
The police said the suspected kidnap kingpin and his gang members
were arrested on Saturday at Magodo Estate in Lagos after “an intense
gun battle” with the Joint Special Forces led by the Intelligence
Response Team, the Lagos State Police Command’s Anti-Kidnapping Unit and
Technical and Intelligent Unit of the Force under the supervision of
the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State.
Suspected members of his gang arrested with him include Suoyo Paul,
a.k.a Nwana, 42; and Nwosu Chikodi Chukwu, 42, a.k.a Sudo, who is
believed to be the third in command.
Others are Felix Chinemerem, 36; Ikenna Emeka, 28; Uchechukwu Amadi; and Ogechi Amadi.
According to the police, Onuamadike, a native of Nnewi in Nnewi
North Local Government Area of Anambra State is the vicious leader of
the highly organised kidnap syndicate and criminal gang responsible for
the kidnap of prominent Nigerians in Lagos and many states across the
country.
He was declared wanted in August 2013 for allegedly masterminding
the attempted kidnap of the owner of Young Shall Grow Motors, Vincent
Obianudo, in FESTAC, Lagos.
During the incident, a policeman who foiled the attempt to kidnap Obianudo by killing three of the gang members was killed.
After the FESTAC incident, the police said Onuamadike and surviving
members of his syndicate regrouped with several gangs and became more
vicious in unleashing terror.
The police listed the names of some of their victims to include
Mbarikatta William Uboma; Paul Cole, a director with Ocean Glory
Commodities, Apapa; Mohammed Jamal, a Lebanese; Kingsley Nwokenta and
Anthony Ozoanidobi.
Others are Leo Abraham, Ojukwu Cosmas, James Uduji, Chief Raymond
Okoye, Uche Okoroafor, Elias Ukachukwu, Francis Umeh, and Donatus Dunu.
According to the police, Evans and his gangs keep their victim
kidnapped in the Lagos area at a house in New Igando Lagos until they
pay the ransom.
“Ransom money is paid to him in millions of dollars, some
victims are kept for upward of six to seven months until the last penny
is paid. He never reduces his tagged ransom money. None of his gang
members knows his house,” the police said.
Police sources said the 36-year-old suspect, who had been on their
watchlist for about seven years, is reputed to be the most notorious and
richest kidnapper in Nigeria.
The Force Public Relations Officer said the police would build on his capture and check kidnapping in the country.
“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, and ensure prompt detection of
those crimes that cannot be prevented, and also ensure that perpetrators
are arrested, investigated and prosecuted,” he said.
