The Day Evans The Kidnapper’s Disappearing Charm Failed – Witness Tells Court
A court in Igbosere Lagos today heard that suspected multi-millionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike (alias Evans) considered himself invincible.
Testifying in his trial, Police Inspector Idowu Haruna said Evans never believed he could be arrested.
According to him, Evans exclaimed during his arrest: ‘Oh God! I never knew this day will come!’
He said Evans promised to cooperate with the Police by confessing to his alleged crime.
Evans is facing two separate charges bordering on conspiracy to kidnap, kidnapping and attempted murder before Justice Adedayo Akintoye.
Haruna said Evans made his statement to the Police voluntarily and without duress or torture.
Led in evidence by prosecution counsel Dr Jide Martin, the witness said Evans’ statement was recorded on June 26, 2017 at 2 pm at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) office in Ikeja.
He said Evans narrated how he and his accomplices kidnapped Godwin Okorafor.
A consultant radiologist from the Paramount Life Care Diagnosis Center, Samuel Oyemakinde, in the first charge, tendered a medical report and an X-RAY result showing that a kidnap victim, James Uduji, sustained a gunshot wound.
Oyemakinde, who was subpoenaed to give evidence, said there was a linear foreign body lodged in the victim’s upper left lung zone.
Justice Akintoye adjourned until November 2 for continuation of trial.

Please upon conviction this criminal should be executed immediately. Ho appeal should be entertained as this criminal never listened to the appeals of those him and his gang kidnapped and even killed those who could not pay the ransom.

So, Evans Chudimeme you said you never knew you will be caught. You thought the magic charm you depended upon will continue to protect you by appearing and disappearing. Those who genuinely possessed that kind of charm use it for protection during a difficult/trial time. They will never use it robbery.?
The day you started using that charm to rob people marked the end of your oppression against innocent people. There is no way the charm will continue to serve you because you used it for wrong a purpose. Even charm dwelt on a solid truth. So now that you have become “IRUNMOLE” in Yoruba language that has never prevented you from being arrested by the law enforcement agents.
There is no excuse to justify your actions. You have enjoyed good part of it, now it is a pay back time. What really baffles me about your case is about the privilege they gave you in the prison. Your face still look fresh which means instead of you having prison experience, you are being given some special treatment because you have parted with some huge cash with some unprincipled law enforcement officers.
