UPDATE: Mother of Notorious Billionaire Kidnapper Evans Goes into Hiding
Following the arrest of notorious billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudubem Onwuamadike, a.k.a Evans, and the shocking revelation that his mother aided him in his crimes (read here), the woman has gone into hiding to avoid being lynched.
Vanguard reported that the mother left their hometown of Umudim in Nnewi, Anambra state, to avoid the crowd that constantly besieged her after news of the arrest of her son spread like wildfire.
Her disappearance coincided with the disclosure by the Obi of Umudim, his village, Chief Benneth Okafor, that the arrested kidnap kingpin was not known in his community as he hardly visited home, neither did he have any investment in the community.
Evans’ mother, who is popularly called Lady Nwosu was described as a no-nonsense woman. It was gathered that she assists vendors in selling their wares for a commission.
Though there were reports that Evans’ mother knew he was a criminal and even enjoyed a car he bought her, people in Umudim village seemed to tell a different story, as it was believed that Lady Nwosu only rides a motorcycle popularly called Nwanyi Nnewi.
It was also gathered that Lady Nwosu has not been seen at the canteen where she sells since Tuesday.
According to a woman who spoke on the condition of anonymity:
“She went into hiding because people were trooping in to sympathise with her over the arrest of her son. Some came for different purpose; to make mockery of her and to see the face of the mother of the arrested kidnapper. Even you newsmen were troubling her. She has been crying since news of the arrest reached her. I do not know where she has gone to but I think it is good for her.”
Also, police sources said yesterday, that the suspect has been shedding tears since he was thrown into the same cell with common criminals. He is said to be lamenting his predicament statting, ”after making billions and living in mansions, I am in the cell with common criminals.”
The source added: “He has been weeping uncontrollably because he is in a cell with common poor criminals despite all the wealth and mansions he owned.He has started talking. He has given us locations of other detention camps he had in Lagos. Aside Igando, he had two others and detectives would visit the place. He also said that his very first robbery was in Sokoto State and that they killed the victim.He is still being interrogated and more details would come out after the camps have been visited.”
It was learnt yesterday that Evans has been ex-communicated from Nnewi for over five years because of the terror he unleashed on wealthy indigenes of the town.
