A suspected kidnap kingpin, popularly known as Evans, who was arrested by police in Lagos on Sunday, said that he chose to collect ransom in dollars to be different from other kidnappers.

The suspect, while being paraded at the State’s Police Command in Ikeja, told newsmen that he started the business of kidnapping in 2015, after he left his spare parts business.

He claimed that he lost N20 million to customs officers, which made him to leave his trade.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the suspect was arrested in his mansion in Magodo area of the state on Saturday.

Evans, who wasn’t sure of how many people he had kidnapped, said the highest he had collected as ransom was one million dollars.

“I can’t figure out how much I have collected so far or how many people I have kidnapped, but I have kidnapped up to 10 since 2015.

“I choose to collect ransom in dollars to be different, and the maximum I have collected as ransom so far is 1 million dollars.

“I work in two groups, a team moves with me to kidnap victims while we hand over to the other team that takes the victim to the hide out.

“Kinsley introduced me to kidnap, but I usually get my ammunition from one Chinedu and Ehis whom I met at Ago-Iwoye.

“I also do drug business that enabled me to buy my property,” the suspect said.

The Force PPRO, Jimoh Moshood said that the suspect had collected billions of naira from his victims and had property in and outside the country.

He said that Evans was declared wanted in 2013, following a kidnap attempt that was foiled by the police.

“He is said to have masterminded several kidnap cases in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun and South-South states,’’ the police said.

Moshood said further investigation into his activities were ongoing

hmmm.. this baba enn

I belief that one day kidnapping and all other challenges we currently face in Nigeria will be a thing of the past, we will look back at these dark days and smile at them because we made it!

Clever guy.... Thinking of currency fluctuations,

These IPOB decide to fight the yoruba in this dimension. First abandoned property recorded. Shame on your tribe!

I do not respect those that spray huge sum of money at parties. 80% of them are either ritualist, armed robber, kidnapper, occultic.

Fine, show off has percolated into our culture, but no hard earner will spray over #200,000 at events.

Nah! Not in this economy!

African-jews with always their horrible business. anyway, we shall know them by their fruits. Nigerians should beware of you guys..

Bureau the change kidnapper. No wonder the dollar been dey scarce.

This man should definitely be dealt with. I find something funny. What is funny to me is how humble a certain group has become this weekend.
Anyway Sha, I am team oneNigeria.

I admire his quest to be unique.... He will forever be remembered as that professional kidnapper who dealt only in dollars.

Unlike these Ugbowo boys that will release someone after you send them 3k recharge card.

Since I have been following this Evans story, I have not read that he has killed any of his victims... Or killed any one intentionally or carelessly and yet he is a very successful kidnapper...


Give him 20 yrs jail with hard labour and let him join the strategic military unit after serving his terms

It seems like kidnapping pay oooo

from your comment here, it seems u are also planning on joining your brother in this business.. since in your Biafra, all it takes to do anything is to say
"MONEY DEY AM OOO !!!"
even though it involves killing Pregnant women.

CIOSYLVA:
Nigeria is in a very serious problem that it is only Biafra can solve it.

but after you and Evans and your Biafran cohort finish kidnapping Expatriates and Honest businessmen, it is still you guys that will claim that Nigeria is in trouble, that Nigeria is a Zoo, and that Biafra, (where you and Evans and Chinedu the drug dealer the caught in India, and the other Biafran the caught in Lagos Airport Earlier today) are kéy developers and highest IGR providers

GOD PUNISH ANYBODY THAT MENTIONS MY BELOVED STATE (AKWA IBOM) IN THE SAME SENTENCE WITH BIAFRA, without qualifying it with "NOT".

These people again

Nigerians are looking up to the NPF in this case to make sure this man does not go unpunished. Cause the way am seeing this case and the jubilation he might be granted bail

Sincerely, this guy needs to face the consequences cus I don't support evil, it's wrong to do bad out of frustrations. One can't because of the corrupt leaders and officers turn evil as source of revenue.

so he kidnapping business is limited to the SW and SS. i wonder why he did not extend his evil business to his homeland.

Myopic way of thinking. There are legit guys that would spray such amount without thinking twice. They might not continuously do it tho
