POLICE ARRESTS NIGERIA'S KINGPIN OF KIDNAPPERS

The Nigeria Police is overjoyed over the arrest of the most notorious

ransom in the last seven years".

His real name is Chukwudidumeme Onwuamadike aka Evans, a native of
Nnewi in Nnewi North LGA of Anambra state and he is 36 years old.

Available information says he was the leader of a notorious kidnapping
gang that operated in FESTAC, Amuwo Odofin and Ojo areas of Lagos.

He is reported to have held some of his victims hostage for six to
seven months in captivity until their families pay between N300 to

their freedom.

Several wealthy Nigerians living in Festac and Amuwo Odofin areas of
Lagos are reported to have relocated to Ikoyi, Lekki and Victoria
