More revelations of the criminal activities of the infamous kidnap
kingpin, Chukwudi Onuamadike (aka Evans), continue to come up, as the
suspect has explained how he and his gang once hijacked a bullion van
and took N200m from it.
Evans, who was apprehended last Saturday, told journalists on Friday,
“In 2007, I travelled to South Africa to deal in drugs and returned to
Lagos the following year after a customer, who did not want to pay for a
drug I supplied him, shot me on the shoulder.“With the
little money I had from my trip to South Africa, I came back to Nigeria
and a friend of mine, Kingsley, introduced me to one of his gang members
known as Too-Much-Money in Abia State.
“Too-Much-Money got me
involved in the bullion van robbery. We hijacked a tipper we found on
the Aba-Port Harcourt Road to intercept the bullion van.
“We forced the driver and his police escort to open the van. We got N80m from the van and I was given N1.8m as my share.
“Another
operation was in Enugu where I met a gang leader called ND. We adopted
the same tactic to attack another bullion van containing N200m. When we
wanted to share the proceeds, ND collected our guns and gave us N200,
000 each.”
According to the suspect, the third robbery operation was on Umuahia
Road where he and some new gang members attacked another bullion van. He
said he used the N7m share he got from the operation to stock his shop
in Lagos.
