His syndicate is responsible for several kidnaps. His gang terrorized people all over Nigeria. The center of his operations was stationed in Lagos.
Evans Prison-Fortress
Evans is one of the gangsters in Nigeria who has managed to resist against police best forces for a long time. The intense gun fight was heard all over the district. It`s no wonder that people couldn`t escape from Evans prison if the combined police forces needed few hours just to enter. Nevertheless, Chukwudi was overpowered and pinned down by the police..

Chukwudi Onuamadike Wanted
This kingpin was first declared wanted in 2013. It`s interesting that he had been already kidnapping people for two years before he got on the wanted list. In 2013, he masterminded the kidnap attempt of Vincent Obianudo. He is the owner of Young Shall Grow Motors. It was not the best kidnap attempt as several gang members died in the fight with police forces. Nevertheless, Chukwudi became only more vicious after that fight.
Chukwudi and his gang member kidnapped victims and placed them in House 21 onProphet Asaye street. It`s close to New Igando, in Lagos State. After that, they demanded ransom from families of the victims. These ransoms could be up to several million dollars. In addition, the ransom could be paid instalmentally. Only Chukwudi decided when enough was enough. He was very clever, none of his gang members knew of his houses.
Chukwudi Operation Scheme
He usually had two separate groups of gangsters who did not know each other. One group of gang members kidnapped a victim, and another group took the victim to their hideouts. The second group also guarded the victim and prevented any escape plan. Therefore, even if a gang member from the first group was arrested, he couldn`t give away the hideout with victims.
Evans and The Dread Vampire (also a kidnapper) were the kings of the kidnapping business. The police force managed to stop their criminal activity. The Dread Vampire was killed duringa police assault earlier this year. Evans was arrested in June 2017. Nevertheless, some of his gang members are still free. However, without their leader – they are not as effective.
Evans` Properties
No person in the world can be named a king without a palace. According to police reports, Evans has at least two Mansions in Magodo. Each of them costs about a hundred million Naira. Thatt`s not all! He also owns two houses in Ghana. And of course some less expensive things, like exotic cars, luxury watches, and jewelry. If you call yourself a king of kidnappers – you must live like a king of kidnappers. This was Evans` philosophy.
Kidnap Attempt and Kidnap Experience of Evans` Victims
Take a look at the list of Evans` victims:
☛ Mbarikatta William Ubome. He was kidnapped on June 16, 2012, near his own house. The criminals blindfolded him and took to an unknown place. They demanded a ransom of N10 million but got only N2 million. They freed him on the third day.

☛ Elias Ukachukwu, who was kidnapped in November 2015. The ransom amount was $1 million. Evans did not release him even after the ransom was paid. He tried to demand another $1 million because Elias` family was too rude to the kidnappers.
☛ Donatus Duru, who was the last victim of Evans. It`s interesting that he was the first known victim who managed to escape from Evans prison.
Kingpin Evans
Even in a prison, the king of kidnapping in Nigeria is extremely dangerous. Some members of his gang may try to use his kidnapping methods. The police force has tried to calm citizens that without Evans, these gangs are not very effective. Still, it does not mean that these Nigerian kidnappers are not dangerous.
