Following the arrest of kidnap kingpin, Chukwudubem Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans, last Saturday by operatives of Inspector General of Police Special Intelligence Response Team, IRT, more details about his life have surfaced.
The suspect, who is responsible for coordinating several high-profile kidnappings, armed robbery and murder within Lagos, Edo, Abia, Enugu and Anambra States, yesterday, revealed that his father’s decision to disown him was the reason he took to crime.
In a chat with Vanguard, Evans, who received millions of dollars as ransom from his victims, during his reign as an ingenious kidnapper in the country, said that he was forced to drop out of school while in Junior Secondary School Class 2, when his father, Steven Onwuamadike, drove his mother, Chinwe, away and got married to another woman.
