The last may not have been heard of the unfolding saga of kidnap kingpin, Chukwudidumeme Onuamadike, aka Evans, following revelations that some members of his strike team were serving security agents. His reason for doing so was because of their expertise in arms handling and to avoid shoot innocent persons during operations. One of them, a serving personnel of the Nigerian Army, identified as Lance Corporal Victor Chukwunonso, with Army No: 09/NA/64/6317, has been arrested.
Unsuspecting Lance Corporal Chukwunonso, who is attached to the Nigeria Army Band Corps, Abalti Barracks, in the Surulere area of Lagos, was arrested at about 9pm on Friday, in the Ojo area of the state, from where he was subsequently taken into police custody. He admitted to have gone on three kidnap operations with Evans. He disclosed that he got a total of N6.5 million from the operations. He also revealed to policemen that all the operations were carried out in Festac, Lagos. He claimed to have been given N3milion from the first operation, N2 million from the second and N1.5million from the third. The Anambra state-born suspect also disclosed that he belonged to the Strike Force of the kidnap gang.
Members of the Strike Force, he revealed, were responsible for abducting victims and taking them to an exchange camp, from where the receiving team would pick victims to their detention camps.
