Ongoing police
investigation of suspected kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike,
alias Evans, has revealed that he was also involved in crimes in South
Africa, it was gathered yesterday.
That is besides his alleged illegal procurement of a Ghanaian passport that bears his passport photograph but a Ghanaian name.
Police
spokesman, Mr. Moshood Jimoh, told The Nation that the investigation
has also led to the arrest of more associates of Evans who were found to
be probably wealthier and living bigger than him.
Evans is
spending his second month in police custody and is expected to be
formally charged within the next one month, Jimoh said.
He also said relations of former victims of Evans’ are among those being detained by the police.
They are suspected of giving information about the former kidnap victims to Evans.
He advised the public to be security conscious at all times to avoid falling prey to kidnappers.
