More details have emerged as billionaire kidnapper, Evans has begged for
forgiveness,promising to be a good Christian if he is freed. The father
of five who is known for not negotiating his ransom also said he had
already relocated his wife and children from Ghana to Canada.
He also said though his mother was aware of his life of crime,she was never in support.
He said
My mum has never been to my house. She knows I’m into crime but never supports me.
It all started in the year 2000 when I fled my home town in Opi,
Nsukka Local Government of Enugu State to Lagos after stabbing my
fiancee when she decided not to marry me
‘I started in
Anambra state during the tenure of Peter Obi as the governor of the
state when a hunch man introduced me to kidnapping’,
We were later forced to leave Anambra state and moved to Edo later Lagos. I had boys
‘I had boys from Warri, Delta state who worked for me. The first job
I got in Lagos was at Johnbulls Ikoyi as a driver to the CEO. One day
we were going to his office and my boss said that he wanted to visit a
friend. The moment he stepped into his friend’s house, I took the sum of
N350,000 he had in the car and ran away to Ghana’ he continued.
I later returned to Nigeria after few months and avoided Ikoyi where
my ex-boss office is situated. I then got a new job as a driver in the
fashion I did before. I also stole N600,000 and eloped to Ghana again.
I returned to Lagos in 200 and used my old method to secure another
job as a driver at the home of the first family I kidnapped their
daughter. When I realised that they are very rich and loved their
daughter deeply. I took the girl to Ghana from where I demanded a ransom
of only N20m but the girl’s father paid N22m instead. I then freed the
girl in Ghana/
Once I got this money, I ventured into an
extravagant lifestyle and bought a house in Ghana. Then, I bought over
five exotic cars and a truck. I began to show prominently in social
functions where people hailed the way I was spending money.
I
spent over N2m on orphanages and local primary schools in Ghana. The
Deputy Nigeria Ambassador to Ghana and other prominent Nigerians were
also in attendance at the handing over ceremony of my donations.
Early this year, I was arrested along with my wife, in Lagos. We
were brought to the court but we later regained our freedom due to the
power of my money and connections.
I have to admit, I have done
wrong and I have caused pains to several families but I want to live and
pay for my evil crimes.
I heard several stories about SARS
and their operations but I never thought that I would one day be brought
here for reckoning.
“I am just asking for another chance, I
am sorry for my action, I will become a Christian, if only I have
another chance. I cannot remember the number of people I have kidnapped
so far. I took part in high profile kidnappings in Edo State where I
got N10million as my share.”
