The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris has revealed that Nigerian billionaire kidnapper,
Chukwudubem Onwuamadike, also known as Evans, did not only fraudulently
secure a Ghanaian passport, but also acquired one for the wife and two
of his children.
The IGP was speaking in
an interview with Ghanaian medium, Joy News, where he disclosed that
Evans was issued a Ghanaian passport this year under a fake name, Asare
Nelson in Accra.
The Ghanaian passport was found on Evans during when he was arrested on June 10 in his home in Lagos.
According to the news outlet, the IG revealed that Evans’ wife and two children are also in possession of Ghanaian passports.
He
explained that the Nigerian passport of his wife bears the name Uchenna
Precious Onwuamadike issued at the Abuja passport headquarters while
her Ghanaian passport bears the name Precious Asare born sometime in
July of 1985.
The children’s passports also bear the last name Asare all issued in Accra, according to Idris.
A
document signed by Assistant Commissioner of Police, ACP Abba Kyari and
presented to the IGP revealed that Evans has moved his wife and five
children to Ghana because of the nature of his business.
IGP
Idris also revealed that the kidnapper’s residence in Ghana is located
at the Spintex Road in Accra and that the duplex structure is where Mrs.
Uchenna Precious Onwuamadike resides with their children.
He
said the Nigerian police is very interested in the case because Evans
kidnapped people and took ransom in United States dollars.
He said he will collaborate with the Ghana Police Service because Evans’ acts go beyond the shores of Nigeria.
Idris
said, “I requested for my force in Nigeria to send me some documents to
share with the IGP to show him the locations of all his property in
Ghana as well as copies of his passports.
“Evans owns two big plush duplexes in Accra.”
“I
hope Ghanaian police can take the fraudulent acquisition of passport up
to block people like him from acquiring Ghanaian passports through
dubious means,” he said.
According to the IGP, the documents available to them so far revealed that Evans’ victims are all Nigerians.
