Following
the shocking capture of notorious kidnapper, Evans and the revelation
that the mother aided him in the crime, the woman has gone into hiding
to avoid being lynched.
Notorious kidnap kingpin, Chukwudubem Onwuamadike, a.k.a Evans
The mother of notorious kidnap kingpin, Chukwudubem Onwuamadike,
a.k.a Evans, who was recently arrested in Lagos, has reportedly gone
into hiding to avoid the crowd that besiege her Umudim, Nnewi home in
Anambra state after news of the arrest of her son filtered in, according
to Vanguard.
This came after the Obi of Umudim, Chief Benneth Okafor, revealed
that the arrested kidnap kingpin was not known in his community as he
hardly visited home, neither did he have any investment in the
community.
Lady Nwosu, as Evan’s mother is popularly called, was described as a
no nonsense woman. Contrary to insinuations from some quarters that her
son bought her a car from the proceed of kidnapping, the woman only
rides a lady motorcycle popularly called Nwanyi Nnewi, according to a
Vanguard report.
The woman has now gone into hiding leaving the canteen where she
sells food empty to avoid the wrath of the villagers. A woman who spoke
on the condition of anonymity said: “she went into hiding because
people were trooping in to sympathise with her over the arrest of her
son. Some came for different purpose; to make mockery of her and to see
the face of the mother of the arrested kidnapper. Even you newsmen were
troubling her. She has been crying since news of the arrest reached her.
I do not know where she has gone to but I think it is good for her.”
Vanguard also visited Emmanuel Anglican Church Primary School,
Akamili Umudim Nnewi, the primary school Evans attended. Headmaster of
the school was, however, not on seat. A teacher that was accosted said
he was not competent to speak on the matter.
Also, police sources told Vanguard yesterday, that the suspect has
been shedding tears since he was thrown into the cell lamenting that; “After making billions and living in mansions, I am in the cell with common criminals.” He was said to have been keeping to himself in the cell and avoids other detained persons.
The news of Evan's arrest has become a hot topic in his home town
with many expressing shock after learning that he was a billionaire
kidnapper.
At his palace, the Obi of Umudim, Chief Okafor, stated; “I was
told that he hardly came home. It is only the Akamili kindred where he
comes from that will be able to give a little account of the young man.
It is unfortunate that many people in this village do not know him
because he does not have any investment in Nnewi like an average Nnewi
man, neither does he own any house here.”
More facts emerged, yesterday, about the circumstances that led to
the location of the residence of the kidnap kingpin leading to his
arrest, last Saturday. Sources attributed it to an informant residing in
Magodo and intelligence reports that revealed identities of his three
girlfriends.
It was gathered that after the Inspector-General of police deployed
his Intelligence Response Team to track the notorious kingpin, they
made huge progress from the documents recovered from his hideout in
Igando, Lagos after the miraculous disappearance of his last victim. The
documents reportedly aided them in identifying occupants of that
apartment and opened an avalanche of information leading to Evans
movement.
That was how they discovered that he lives at Magodo area of Lagos
State, while other members were also residing in Lagos, Rivers, Abuja,
Edo and Anambara States.
N30m IGP reward as a boost A source who spoke with Vanguard
disclosed that the leader of IGP’s team, Abba Kyari, who was tracking
their locations had planned to round-up all the suspects, in one swoop,
but his plans failed as Evans was always changing locations, making it
difficult to get his exact location.
The source who spoke with Vanguard on the condition of anonymity
disclosed that, while Kyari was searching for Evans, and has also
mobilized some residents of Magodo Estate, giving them clear
descriptions of Evans, his vehicles and the name of his security man,
IGP, Ibrahim Idris, also announced a bounty of N30million on information
that could lead to the arrest of Evans.
This led to the rounding up of three women believed to be Evans
girlfriends, and they were identified as Amaka, Ijeoma and Ngozi. The
operatives were said to have discovered that Evans was very close to
Amaka and he rented an apartment for her in Okota area of Lagos State.
Sources explained that Evans was fond of sleeping in Amaka’s house on a regular basis and they decided to use Amaka to lure him.
It was further gathered that fearing that Amaka may have been
picked by the police, he avoided her as much as he could. However, one
of the police informants in Magodo made a breakthrough as the IRT were
banking on Amaka, and he called and informed the police that he has
located Evans apartment.
He also disclosed that Evans has not been seen around his house for
a long time and he was believed to have moved out of his house. Our
source revealed that, Evans was highly elusive at this time and he was
quite aware that the police were closing in on him and he moved away
from his home and relocated to a hotel in Agidigingbi area of Ikeja
adding that he also moved his wife and children to Ghana and was trying
to dispose some of his properties at the time he was arrested.
On the day he was arrested, according to sources, he was said to be
unaware that operatives had located his apartment in Magodo, when he
contacted Amaka on Saturday morning. “He was said to have called her
on the phone around 4:15am, without knowing that some policemen were
with her and asked her to wait outside her compound to meet him.
"She reportedly joined him later at the spot and as soon as she
got into the car, he attacked her, threatening to kill her for not
informing him about the police presence in her house. Evans was said to
have gotten angry and drove away with her in his Grand Cherokee SUV and
they had an accident at Iyana-Ipaja area where he abandoned the vehicle,
seized Amaka’s phone and asked her to go home.
