Amaka Offor, one of the alleged girlfriends of kidnap
kingpin, Chukwudubem Onwuamadike, also known as Evans, has accused Evans’
lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje, of lying, insisting policemen never sexually
molested her.....
Kidnapper, Evan Offor told Vanguard, yesterday, during an
interview that she had never met Evans’ lawyer, saying she was shocked when she
read the story of been sexually molested by the policemen who tried to use her
in luring Evans out of hiding. She explained that she was yet to speak with
Evans since he was arrested on June 9, by operatives of the Inspector General
of Police Special Intelligence Response Team, IRT, and her attempt to visit him
at the Kirikiri Maximum Prison has been unsuccessful. According to her, “I
don’t know where that lawyer got his story from and I have never met him. “I
have also not seen or spoken to Evans since he was arrested. I changed my phone
number after he was arrested and I don’t think he has the new phone number.
“After he was charged to court where he pleaded guilty, I tried to see him in
prison and speak with him, but I was not allowed to see him. “The wardens did
not tell me why I could not see him, but they took the food I brought for him
and promised that they will give it to him. I was troubled when I read the
story of the lawyer accusing the policemen, who arrested Evans, of sexually
molesting me, while they were trying to use me to lure Evans out of hiding. “I
am not a baby and I know when I am being sexually molested and abused. Nothing
of such happened and I think I have to set the record straight.” “One week
before Evans was arrested, some policemen accosted me on my way to the market
and arrested me. Though they were hostile to me at the time they arrested me.
“I was completely in shock when they told me that Evans who I know and still
call Chukwuebuka Mike, was a robber and kidnapper. I did not believe it. They
later told me that they wanted me to lure him to my house because I told them
that he was found of my children and he normally spent time with us. The
policemen were in my house, I was always in my room, and they were always in
the seating room. They provided all the money we used in cooking throughout
their one week stay in my house. They were strategizing on how to arrest Evans.
They also bought the fuel we used in powering the generator. On the day Evans
was arrested, he called me around 5:am and the policemen brought the phone to
me in my room and gave it to me. I answered the call and he told me not to drop
the call. I thought I was standing by the gate and I did not put on any
slippers. I walked out of the gate on barefoot. When I opened the gate, I saw
him parked across the road and I entered into his vehicle. The moment I saw
him, I was panting and he asked what was happening. I told him policemen where
in my house for one week and they were looking for him. He zoomed off
immediately and took me Iyana-Ipaja where he dropped me. He left with my phone.
That was the last time I saw him. I was surprised when his lawyer said I was
sexually abused by the policemen who arrested him.” Meanwhile, a car dealer,
Nnayelu Okonkwo, who Evans paid the $102,000, to purchase a Mercedes Benz
G-Wagon in January 2016, from the United State of American, has been arrested
by the police. Vanguard learned that the car dealer was apprehended after weeks
of trailing, following the alleged confessions by Evans on how he spent his
loots from kidnapping. Evans was said to have informed the police when he was
arrested that he sent part of the proceed he made from the kidnapping of James
Uduji to the car dealer, Uduji an industrialist, paid $1.2million ransom before
he was released. Police sources disclosed that that Evans called off the deal
before the vehicle was delivered to him and Okonkwo refunded the sum of $67,000
to him adding that the balance of $34,000 was still in Okonkwo’s possession
when Evans was arrested. Okonkwo told Vanguard when interviewed that he didn’t
know that the money Evans paid to him was a proceed of kidnapping. He said he
couldn’t return the complete balance to Evans after he called off the deal,
because the money was not not in his possession, he also alleged that Evans
lawyer, Ogunbeje, also collected $900,00 from the said money. According to him;
“ I didn’t know that the money Evans sent to me in American was a proceed of
kidnapping and when he was arrested I felt I was in trouble. I tried to inform
the police about it and I don’t know who to call. But Evans lawyer started
calling me and he mounted so much pressure on me and I was forced to pay the
equivalent of $900,00 into his account. Evans father, also called and asked I
should give the money to his lawyer. “
