After
several denials, suspected kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeje George Onwuamadike,
alias Evans, has finally admitted some prominent southeast
businessmen provided
information on victims and shared from the ransoms.
The Nation
gathered yesterday that the suspect had given a lot of names to the police,
most of whom were currently being tracked.
It was
gathered that the kingpin also disclosed that some of his accomplices were
based in Europe, which explained his craze to collect ransoms in foreign
currencies.
According to
a source, Evans explained that he usually shared the loot with his informants
on a 60%/40% basis.
The source
said Evans had threatened to make a public announcement should the police fail
to arrest those he mentioned.
He said: “It
is true. He has mentioned some very prominent businessmen from the southeast as
those who provided information on people he kidnapped. He claimed that they
shared from the ransoms he collected.
“Evans
claimed that most of his accomplices were based in Europe and that they were
into drug business. The information he provided is being investigated. You do
not expect the police to go and arrest people just like that.
“We have to
be sure there is a connection between Evans and those mentioned. Once that is
established, they would all be arrested. But he has been threatening to go
public, if people mentioned are not arrested”
