In continuation of the revelation of his seven years of kidnapping, kidnap kingpin, Evans told operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Intellige
In continuation of the revelation of his seven years of kidnapping, kidnap kingpin, Evans told operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team that he has just three detention camps in Lagos where he keeps some of the victims he kidnapped.
He has since led the police to two of the three camps where he kept his victims, one on Green Street in Jakande Estate, Ejigbo, and another at 21 Prophet Asaye Close, New Igando, Lagos State. The third one is located at Gowon Estate, in the Egbeda area of the state.
“One of them is this house on Jakande Estate which I rented in 2010 for N750,000. The others are in the New Igando and on Gowon Estate. I don’t come to the camps, I have my boys on the ground and they give me information on a daily basis.
“One of the victims I kept here (Jakande) is one Udoji, who I collected $1m from. Another one, Emesbos, paid me $300,000, while one, whose name I can’t remember, paid $250,000. Whenever the pressure from the police is much, I usually move my victims to another camp.”
The house in New Igando has two different flats, which Evans said he rented for N1m per annum. He said two victims; Chief Umeh the phamarcist, and Chief Donatus Duru, were held in the house before his arrest.
“We demanded €1m from Duru’s family, but they paid N100m and promised to bring the rest. When I collected the money, I told my boys to release the man but they flouted my order. By then, policemen were after me,” he added.
The kingpin denied owning a car called Fathom, as being reported.
“The vehicles I owned were a Toyota Hilux and a Nissan pickup that I bought for N7m; Lexus GS460, which I bought for N22m; 2016 Range Rover, which cost me N55m, and Lexus GL47 that was bought for N9m,” he said.
He added that he did not enjoy the money made from kidnapping because he was always on the move to avoid arrest by policemen. Since his arrest, he was not harassed by inmates in the police cell.
“Even the IRT policemen are friendly. I can’t blame them if they are not friendly because I am the cause of my problem,” he added.
