| Evans and his gang members |
Lagos-based kidnap kingpin, Chukwudi Dumeme Onuamadike, a.k.a Evans, has
led a team of Policemen from the Federal Anti-kidnapping Unit to what used to
be his detention camps for people he abducted, according to Channelstv.
The separate buildings, located in Igando and Ikotun in Lagos, are
usually where the kidnap victims are kept for days or months while negotiation
for ransom are made.
The report revealed that Evans told journalists that his arrest signals
the beginning of the end of kidnapping in Nigeria, claiming that his gang
applied the best sophistication ever which no gang may be able to equal.
Evans was arrested on June 10, along with six suspected top members of
his gang 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.
They were paraded at the headquarters of the Lagos State Police Command
by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Jimoh Moshood.
Police sources said the 36-year-old suspect, who had been on their
watch-list for about seven years, is reputed to be the most notorious and
richest kidnapper in Nigeria.
He is believed to have received millions of dollars in ransom payment.
According to the police, he has two mansions in Magodo GRA Phase 2 worth
about N300m and two houses in the Highbrow area of Accra City in Ghana among
many other properties such as exotic cars, expensive watches, and jewellery,
among other things.
