Once dreaded Billionaire kidnap kingpin, Chukwudubem Onwuamadike also known as Evans has revealed how he was abducted by another kidnap gang operating in the South-East in 2015.

Narrating his experience to police investigators yesterday, Evans disclosed that the gang of desperate kidnappers trailed him from Nnewi, Anambra State before abducting him close to Onitsha in the same state.


Driving in his G-wagon, Evans disclosed that when he got to a spot close to Onitsha, the gun-yielding gang intercepted and whisked him into their waiting car and took off towards Enugu–Onitsha express way.

Evans said, ”When they ended up at a hidden spot which I later knew was inside one of the riverside areas in Anambra State, they brought me out for interrogation.

“I boldly introduced myself as Evans. Initially, they were shocked but later they started looking at me with scepticism.


“I then asked them the name of their leader and after they reluctantly told me it was ND, short for Ndubisi; I informed them that he was serving a prison term at the Port-Harcourt prisons.

“That was when they started believing that I was the notorious Evans, widely known in crime circles.

“Nevertheless, they put a call to their leader in Port-Harcourt prison and as soon as they mentioned my name, he ordered them to take me back to where they picked me without delay.”

Dino Melaye has alleged that Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has released N200m for the ongoing move by the electorate in his constituency to recall him from the Senate.

Melaye, representing the Kogi West Senatorial District in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, made the allegation in Kabba, Kogi, on Sunday.


He, however, assured his supporters that the recall will fail.

Recall that his convoy was briefly blocked by some protesting youths while he moved around the state.

In a video, the youths clapped and repeatedly chanted “Dino, ole (thief).”

But Melaye, who later led his supporters on a peaceful march around Kabba town, said he was convinced that Bello was behind the move to recall him.

He stated that his achievements in the Senate were huge and as such, the people of his constituency were solidly behind him.

Melaye alleged that 30 of his supporters, who refused to be part of the move were arrested on the order of the governor.

“Quote me, Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has released N200 million for each of the seven local government areas in my senatorial district to facilitate my recall from the Senate,” Melaye alleged.

A man who worked with others to kidnap his father has been arrested.

The suspect was paraded by the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Odude, along with others on Wednesday.

Mr. Odude said that the kidnapping of the suspect’s father took place at Igboora in Ibarapa Central Local Government Area on May 17 at about 6 p.m.

“The suspect said he got a share of less than N1 million in the ransom collected although he confessed that his father never offended him,” he said.

He said that the suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigation was completed.

Similarly, six suspects said to be involved in the kidnapping of popular Ibadan-based oil magnate and Chief Executive Officer of Bovas Oil and Gas Limited were also paraded.

Items recovered from the suspects included firearms, nine vehicles, one motorcycle, N1.2 million, musical instruments, knife and phones.

The Jama’atu Nasril Islam, JNI, a foremost Islamic body in Nigeria, has “condemned in strongest terms”, the decision of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, to continue running its orientation camps for fresh graduates across the country, despite the Ramadan fast.

The body, led by Abubakar Sa’ad, the Sultan of Sokoto, also called on the Nigerian Army to immediately postpone its planned recruitment exercise until Muslims have concluded their fasting period for 2017.

The decision was part of many resolutions, which included fervent prayers for ailing President Muhammadu Buhari, reached by JNI at its recently-concluded annual central council meeting in Kaduna.
The two-day event was held between May 21 and 22.
The organisation said NYSC admitting new entrants into orientation camps and the Nigerian Army conducting recruitment exercise during Ramadan would put Muslim faithful, especially those observing fasting and prayers, at a disadvantage.

“This is because the prospective corps members would be at disadvantage to their faith and other camp activities.
“In the same vein, the council calls on the authority of the Nigerian Army to postpone the intended recruitment exercise until after Ramadan to avoid putting prospective candidates at disadvantage,” it said.
The JNI called on the NYSC to honour a previous agreement entered by the two parties for camp activities to be placed on hold during Ramadan.


The spokesperson for the Nigerian Army and NYSC did not immediately return calls and text messages to their respective lines for comments Wednesday afternoon.
The Nigerian Army had earlier this month announced plans to recruit new personnel in an exercise slated to take place between May and June, 2017.
The NYSC opened camps for the latest stream of graduates last week.
