Chikwudubem Onwuamadike, otherwise called Evans was arrested on June 10, after a police special squad caught up with him at his No. 3, Fred Shoboyede Street, Magodo, Lagos residence.
The kidnap kingpin has confessed to being responsible for numerous high-profile kidnap cases in sundry states of Africa's most populous country, Nigeria, especially the country’s financial capital city Lagos.
Evans has also confessed to earning money equating to billions of naira from his illegal activities, having charged some of his unfortunate victims up to $ 1 million each as ransom.
However, a Nigerian social commentator, namely, Simon Utsu, has condemned the way with which Evans has treated the reality of his arrest especially the lilly-livered manner and theatricalities which has characterised his post-arrest days.
Hear him out: 'No high profile criminal has irritated me in recent times as much as Evans "the kidnapper". There's a popular saying that goes thus: If you can't do the time; don't do the crime.
'From the way Mr Evans has been whining and lamenting every other day to the media, it's obvious he can't face the punishment that the courts will soon dish out in his direction. Since his arrest, he has been singing like a canary. If it's not "Evans exposes list of high profile associates", it's "Evans begs for forgiveness" or "Evans declares that he's tired of life and wants to die".
'What even annoyed me the most was when he gave his wife up to the police. What kind of hard man does that? And the wife even irritated me the more when she released(to the media) a video with her kids where she was crying and begging Nigerians to forgive them.
'So you want to swear you didn't know your husband was a kidnapper? Even if you didn't know, why didn't you make effort to find out? Ignorance isn't an excuse.
'As for Evans, you're such a wussy wimp! As the number one kidnapper in Nigeria, I thought you were going to give it to the cops that came to arrest you like Pablo Escobar or El Chapo or Al Capone? Instead you were brought of the ceiling like a chicken.
'Booh… If you really wanted to die like you're now claiming, you should have brought out your submachine gun and screamed "say hello to my little friend" like Tony Montana did in Scarface and then "Go with a smile on your face" like 50 cents once sang, when the cops fire back. That's what I expected from the number one kidnapper in Nigeria…'
Does Utsu's submissions above appeal to your rationality? Let's hear you…
