Billionaire kidnapper, Evans weeps in cells, makes more revelations

By Wale Odunsi

Billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudemeje George Onwuamadike, alias Evans, has been weeping in custody.
Evans, it was gathered, has yet to come to terms with his ordeal.

The kingpin, who was arrested last Saturday at his 3, Fred Shoboyede Street, Magodo, Lagos home, is being kept in a maximum security cell with “common criminals”.
Recall that Nigeria Police on Sunday afternoon paraded the man regarded as Nigeria’s richest kidnapper and his deadly gang.
Jimoh Moshood, Force spokesman in a statement, revealed how they seized their victims, kept them and demanded for ransom.

He also gave timelines of some of the gang’s activities and how they made a staggering $5million dollars from 4 victims, aside other millions of Naira.
In police cell, Evans has been crying profusely and has also made more revelations to interrogators.
Evans disclosed that he has two other detention camps in Lagos.

He was also said to have confessed that he started off as an armed robber in Sokoto State.

“He has been weeping uncontrollably because he is in a cell with common poor criminals despite all the wealth and mansions he owned”, a police source told Nation.
“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.”
Meanwhile, his Nnewi people in Anambra are still angry over the terror he unleashed on wealthy indigenes, as his victims were mostly from the state.
His second in command, Felix Chinemerem, a native of Amanagu in Abia State, was also declared wanted in 2014, after his criminal activities led to the killing of many innocent people.
Chinemerem took part in the kidnap of a prominent Nigerian, which prompted policemen to storm the community and allegedly shot randomly, killing villagers.

RAMADAN (FASTING IN ISLAM)

Ramadan as popularly celebrated by Muslims, is the month following sha’ban in the Islamic calendar. this is a period which they normally tag as the holy month of fasting and religious devotions. It involves the Muslims refraining from eating and drinking and also from all forms of forbidden acts that can invalidate the fast from dawn till sunset/dusk.

The beginning of the fast is only by the sight of the moon. The period is intended to bring religious followers closer to God and to remind them of people who are less fortunate. There are few groups that don’t have to fast during the month. These include: the children, the sick, the elderly and women who are either pregnant or on their period. Muslims that are opportune to take part are those who have reached puberty age or within the age range of  14 and above.

Muslims are also excused from this period if they are athlete competing in a tournament or travelers on trip. Ramadan is considered a time for intense prayer and religious devotion and Muslims are encouraged to observe daily prayers throughout the period. Many recite the Qur’an in the month of Ramadan. Often, people will donate gift items during Ramadan to feed and help the needy.

Ramadan 2017 started May 27 and is expected to end June 24th. after the Ramadan period, muslims will celebrate Eid al-fitr. The eid celebration, which is to be held on June 25, marks the end of the Ramadan fasting and starts the next month, Shawwal which is a month in the Hijrah calendar.
