Billionaire kidnapper Chukwudi Onuamadike (aka Evans), who was arrested by the police last Saturday in his Magodo GRA mansion Lagos, on Friday continued to sing as he gave more insight into his terrible criminal exploits. His latest confessions showed that he had participated in bullion van robberies in Abia and Enugu states.
In one of such robberies Evans, “the terrible” disclosed how his gang hijacked a bullion van and walked away with N200 million.
The US dollars-loving kidnapper told pressmen, “In 2007, I travelled to South Africa to deal in drugs and returned to Lagos the following year after a customer, who did not want to pay for a drug I supplied him, shot me on the shoulder.
“With the little money I had from my trip to South Africa, I came back to Nigeria and a friend of mine, Kingsley, introduced me to one of his gang members known as Too-Much-Money in Abia State.
“Too-Much-Money got me involved in the bullion van robbery. We hijacked a tipper we found on the Aba-Port Harcourt Road to intercept the bullion van.
“We forced the driver and his police escort to open the van. We got N80m from the van and I was given N1.8m as my share.
“Another operation was in Enugu where I met a gang leader called ND. We adopted the same tactic to attack another bullion van containing N200m. When we wanted to share the proceeds, ND collected our guns and gave us N200, 000 each.”
The third robbery operation was on Umuahia Road where he and some new gang members attacked another bullion van, he said. According to him, he used the N7m share he got from the operation to stock his shop in Lagos.
The 36-year-old native of Nnewi was arrested alongside six of his gang members – Nwosu Chukwuma (aka Sudo), 42, Suoyo Paul (aka Nwana), 42, Felix Chinemerem, 36, Chukwuemeka Bosah, 28, Uchechukwu Amadi and Ogechi Amadi.
