Ogechi is the woman who cooks for the kidnappers and their victims. Paul allegedly supplies rifles and ammunition to Evans. The gang is said to be connected to the late notorious kidnapper, Benjamin Osinachi aka China. Evans and China joined forces in the abduction of the then Chairman, Ejigbo Local Council Development Area of Lagos State, Kehinde Bamigbetan, in 2013. They also kidnapped a Federal High Court judge in Lagos, among other prominent figures. China was killed along with his six members at Seme Border in a gun duel with men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). Presenting the suspects before journalists yesterday, the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), Jimoh Moshood, listed some of Evans’ victims as Mbarikatta William Uboma; Paul Cole, a director with Ocean Glory Commodities, Apapa; Mohammed Jamal, a Lebanese; Kingsley Nwokenta; Anthony Ozoanidobi; Leo Abraham; Ojukwu Cosmas and James Uduji. Others were Chief Raymond Okoye, Uche Okoroafor, Elias Ukachukwu, Francis Umeh and Donatus Dunu, just to mention a few. Evans said he was once shot in South Africa and treated the bullet wound at Cape Town. Explaining why he went into kidnapping, Evans said: “I have abducted about 10 victims. I can’t remember everything I did or those I abducted. I was importing spare parts when Nigerian Customs officers impounded my goods worth over N20 million. It is not only kidnapping I do, I’m also into drug trafficking.” The suspect, who dropped out of secondary school while in Junior Secondary School (JSS2), said: “Police were able to catch me now, because it was time for me to be caught. I control my operations through phone. I have people that watch the victims. Chinedu, Eyis and Kingsley used to get targets. “I collect ransom in dollars because it’s my choice. I don’t know how much I have made so far. I don’t work with any politician, police or Army. I got the weapons I used in operations from Chinedu. I met Chinedu at Ago Palace, at a beer parlour. But it was Kingsley who introduced me to kidnapping. He is now late.” Asked how many bank accounts he has, he said one. He denied running a domiciliary account. Asked what he does with his dollars, he responded: “Nobody stays at home with money. Once we get it, we give it to the owners.” He, however, refused to mention the owners. According to him, his mother knew he was into crime, but she doesn’t support it. Although his buildings at Magodo, Lagos State had people gasping in shock because of their sizes and worth, Evans said they were small compared to his buildings in Ghana. Police have only discovered his two buildings at Magodo, another at Igando and a hotel at Festac. He also has buildings in Anambra State, which he allegedly used to keep his victims hostage. He added: “I started kidnapping in 2008, in Anambra State. It was from there I moved to Edo State. My mother does not come to my house, but she knows that I am into crime. She just doesn’t support it. I bought my Magodo mansion for N130 million and furnished it with N46 million. I have two houses at Magodo. “I kidnapped three persons in Anambra State. In 2010, we kidnapped Director of Dan Odiete. We collected N100,000. The men who did the job with me were from Warri, Delta State. I kidnapped another victim and collected N10 million. I moved to Lagos in 2013. I really don’t know the names of people I have kidnapped in FESTAC Town. But if I see any of my victims, I will recognise them and I’ll be able to tell how I abducted them.” Asked how he used to get his targets, Evans said: “I have people who used to give me information about my victims. I don’t know where I can reach anybody, but they usually call to give me information. We only meet when it’s necessary. When it’s time to meet, I call and give them location. When we are going for operation we wear Army uniforms.” Evans said that since he embraced kidnapping, operations had always been smooth until he and his gang abducted the multi-millionaire pharmacist, Mr. Donatus Dunu. Evans said: “The pharmacist job was the only one that gave us problem. The highest ransom I have collected since I started kidnapping is $1 million. I collected it from a victim we abducted in Festac. I don’t work with Niger Delta militants.” The suspect, who used to keep his victims in captivity between six and seven months, waiting to collect the complete ransom, said: “I keep my victims for months because I want their families to pay the complete ransom I demanded. I have people who used to cook for my victims. One of my men, Uche, stays in the house with the victims. Another of our men stays in the house with Uche and the victims.” According to him, once his gang abducts victims, he does the negotiation himself. He said: “I have six boys in Lagos working for me. My house in Ghana is bigger than this my mansion. In our operation, we don’t kill.” Evans also spoke on his gang’s attempted abduction of the owner of Young Shall Grow Motor, Chief Vincent Obianudo, in Festac Lagos, in August 2013. He said: “It was five of us that went for the abduction of Chief Vincent Obianudo. Uche (another of his men) and Hutchman were killed. Nnamdi, Nwoke and I survived. I was the person who drove on that day.” Moshood said 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 Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, on June 10, swooped on and raided Evans’ criminal fortress.
