Evans
Chukwudumeje George Onwuamadike alias Evans, the notorious kidnap
suspect yesterday claimed he gave his father N3million cash, a Sports
Utility Vehicle (SUV) and a Hilux Van before he stopped visiting his
hometown, Umudim, Nnewi in Anambra State.
According to The Nations, Evans made the allegation when detectives
took him to one of the dens his gang used for the detention of victims.
The bungalow situated at Green Street, Jakande Estate, Isolo, was
rented by the kingpin, through his gang members in 2010 and he paid the
rent yearly.
The other two are situated at New Igando and Gowon Estate, the suspect said.
Evans, who said he believed his father must have started the pig
husbandry from the money he gave him, blamed the man for what he turned
into.
He said: “Before I stopped going home, I gave my father
N3million and I bought him jeep and pick up van. I believe that part of
the money I gave him was what he used to establish the piggery business.
Had it been my father had taken good care of me, I wouldn’t have
become what I am today.
“I dropped out of school at JSS2, when my father refused to
send me to school. I have been fending for myself since I was 10 with
the support of my mother, presently my mother is paralyzed. She’s on
sick bed.
“My wife was only lying that she did not spend part of my
money. She only wants Nigerians to have sympathy for me. She did not
know I was into kidnapping. I only told her that I am into drug, which
she advised me to stop because it is dangerous.”
Continuing, Evans, who allegedly threatened his victims with death and even shot at some of them, said he believes in God.
He said: “I believe in God, that was why I mandated my wife to
always wake my children up for prayers. My favourite bible passage is
Psalm 23. My wife does not know why I loved the Psalm so much. I loved
it because of the sins I have committed. I always asked my children to
ask for forgiveness for me and also pray that I should not die young.
“I believe in God, because he’s the only one that can save me
from the problem I find myself in. I believe it was greed that pushed me
into kidnapping. I don’t believe in Juju.”
Although detectives said Evans held Chief James Udoji and five
other victims hostage in the Jakande camp until their families paid
demanded ransom, Evans said he only had three victims inside the
building.
He said: “I have just three camps in Lagos where I kept some of
the victims, I kidnapped, and the camps are in Jakande, Igando and
Gowon area of the state.
“I collected $1million from Udoji. Another victim Emesbos paid
me $300,000, while the third person paid N250,000. Whenever I noticed
policemen were after me, I moved the victim to a different camp so that I
won’t be tracked.
“I rented the Jakande house for N750,000 per annum. I also operated several bank accounts, but I used GTB constantly.
“The house at Igando has two different apartments. I rented the
house for N1million per year. I only kept two victims in the house and
they are Chief Umeh and the pharmacist, Chief Donatus Dunu, who
escaped.
“We collected €23million (euros) from the family. We demanded
€300million before they paid €23million and promised to bring the rest.
When we collected the money, I told my boys to release the man, they
were the ones holding him, because then, I was suspecting policemen were
after me.
“I was surprised when I heard that Chief Donatus Dunu has
escaped from the detention camp. It was one of my boys that called and
informed me about the development. I was still not convinced that Uche
and Emeka did not collect money from the victim’s family and released
him.
“It was after two weeks that I received a call from my spy in
the community that policemen had busted the house and recovered arms and
ammunitions.
“I usually don’t go to the house. I have my boys on ground
there and they give me information about the development on daily basis.
That alone gives me the assurance that all was well with any victim we
kidnapped.
“When I heard that the Igando house has been busted by the
police, I threatened the camp officer Uche Amadi that I was going to
kill him. I just wanted to get the truth about the escape of the
pharmacist from him.
“I always controlled my boys on the phone. Most of the
detention camps, I asked them to do the findings and get back to me. I
usually gave them specification on the houses to look for and I only
went to the place after they must have inspected. I don’t just rent any
house, anywhere based on what we were using them for.”
Asked how he was faring in cell, Evans said he was being treated
well by other suspects, adding that policemen were also friendly with
him.
“They take good care of me. I cannot blame them if they did
not take care of me because I am the cause of my problem. I am reaping
what I sowed.
“I do not have any car called Fathom. The only vehicles I have
are Toyota Hilux, Nissan pickup – N7million, Luxus GS460 – N22million,
Range Rover, 2016 model – N55million and Luxus GL47 – N9million.
“I did not enjoy all the money I made from kidnapping because I
was always on the run. I am regretting my actions in life. I did not go
to clubs, hotels because I was afraid that policemen would come after
me. If I am given a second chance, I would be the most grateful person
on earth and I promise to be an advocate of anti-kidnapping in the
country.”
