Billionaire kidnapper Evans mansion in Ghana recovered

After carrying out another thorough search in his mansion at Magodo phase 2, Lagos, Documents discovered inside the house also showed that just four days before his arrest, he sent N20 million to his wife in Ghana through a Bureau de Change which was delivered to her in Ghanaian currency, Cedi.


This is as they were said to have also recovered another mansion belonging to him in Ghana, making three, the number of mansions he has in the West African country.
In another development, according to Vanguard, detectives attached to the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Team, IRT, led by Abah Kyari, have commenced inventory of all the landed and physical properties owned by the arrested kidnap kingpin, Evans.
This is as they are also investigating all the transactions he carried out with banks in the country within the period he was terrorising Nigerians.
Reliable sources informed that they will spread their dragnets to every part of the country where he operated and even neighbouring countries where he was reputed to always run to after collecting huge ransoms from his victims. Sources said Ghana and South Africa will top the list of countries where they hope to liaise with International police, Interpol, in tracking the suspect’s assets. According to the sources; another vital area the detectives will focus on is telecommunication.
“This is because, we would like to find out how he was able to knock out our intelligence efforts towards arresting him for so long. If not that the Inspector-General of Police equipped us with the latest communication gadgets, it would have been impossible to arrest Evans. “So far, Evans, has been trying to recant all the confessional statements he made earlier during interrogation but I assure you that very soon, he will open up and we will nail him finally,” police sources stated.’

Man Seeks Divorce Over Wife’s Cooking Inability

                               

One Ajumoti Ajibola, on Friday approached an Idi-Ogungun Customary Court, Agodi Ibadan, seeking dissolution of his three-year-old marriage with his wife, Bolaji, over her inability to cook decent meal.
 Testifying before the court, Ajibola described the defendant as a disobedient wife, who hardly obey instruction and did not know how to do domestic works.
 “She is not respectful and her mother, who is in the position to correct her mistake, always supports her whenever I report my wife to her. “Also she cannot prepare decent meal and I can no longer eat tasteless meal, so the court should end our union of three years, to enable me marry a woman that can cook good food for me,’’ he pleaded.

The defendant, however, informed the court that she did court marriage, hence the customary court has no jurisdiction to entertain the case.
 “Though I agreed with the dissolution of the marriage, but we did court marriage at Ibadan North Local Government Registry when we married,’’ Bolaji said.
 The President of the court, Chief Mukaila Balogun, struck out the case, saying that evidence of both parties proved that they did court marriage. Balogun advised the couple to proceed to high court for dissolution of their marriage.

Rumours Of Beyonce Welcoming Twins Escalates As Jay Z Skips Award, Solange Spotted At Hospital

Beyonce's husband Jay Z skipped the Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony in New York on Thursday, amid speculation his wife Beyonce has given birth to the couple's twins.

The award was picked up on his behalf by his friend and record label head Jon Platt, who passed on the rapper's apologies to the crowd.

Increasing the rumours further, Beyonce's sister Solange Knowles has been spotted at the Los Angeles medical centre rumoured to be where the couple are having their children, according to reports on Thursday.

Beyonce's younger sister was seen pulling into the medical facility on Thursday, according to Radar Online and various reports on Twitter, two days after rumours went into overdrive that the star was in labour.

162 dubiously registered SIM cards and phones recovered from Billionaire Kidnap Kingpin Evans

More discoveries have been made on the ongoing investigation of kidnaps staged by Nigerian billionaire kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans.
A senior Police officer disclosed that 162 phones lines have been recovered from suspect.
The officer who pleaded anonymity said;

 “More discoveries have been made during investigation. On Wednesday, we discovered that Evans still had 36 more SIM cards outside the 126 lines we already have.
He has 11 phones, including a Thuraya and 2 Vertu phones, valued at N2.4 million and N2.6 million, respectively. That was why it was very difficult to arrest him because the two phones can operate without SIM cards.
That is the kind of phone the Boko Haram terrorist group is using in the desert. All the 162 lines are operational lines, except one that is for his immediate family. We are working on the new lines and phones. .
Turaya is a satellite phone. In Nigeria, we don’t have the capability to track Turaya. He used the three phones for his nefarious activities. We succeeded in tracking him through the other phones he has.”

He went further to disclose that SIM cards used by Evans complicated the challenges posed by the sophisticated phones, as he bought SIM cards registered from miscreants in Computer Village, Ikeja.

“We studied and analysed 162 SIM cards before we caught him. We have about two-page analysis of each of the numbers. He used 161 of those numbers to call his gang members only and used one to call his mother, wife and sister.
He said he bought all the SIM cards already registered in Computer Village for N1,500 each. We picked his sister, his childhood friend with whom he attended primary school, and four of his girlfriends. .
They gave us the information that led to his arrest. Evans confirmed that they didn’t know he was into kidnapping. Because of that, we granted them bail, while investigations continue” he said.

Another source confided that aside from a camp in New Igando, where Evans kept his victims, operatives had uncovered two other camps, which would soon be visited.

Lagos Notorious Land Grabbing Kingpin Arrested

Efforts by the Lagos State Government to curb the activities of land grabbers popularly known as Omo onile received a massive boost on Thursday as the Special Task Force on Land Grabbing set by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode arrested one Kamorudeen Lamina, alias Sir K Oluwo, described as a notorious Omo onile kingpin, who has allegedly been terrorising the people of the state, especially residents of Ikorodu.

The Omo Onile Kingpin, who was arrested on Thursday, fell into the waiting hands of the taskforce when he was tricked out of hiding in a well-orchestrated operation carried out in the Alausa area of the state.

The Chairman of the Lagos State Special Taskforce on Land Grabbing, Jide Bakare, said his office received tons of petitions written by innocent residents deprived of their legitimate investment in landed property by the unscrupulous gang allegedly led by Mr. Lamina, said to have been a torn in the flesh of his victims.


Mr. Bakare, in a statement, said that the arrest of Sir K Oluwo by his team was a clear indication of the commitment of the Ambode-led administration to ensure that the lives and property of residents across the state was secured and protected under the law.

He said the state government had made its zero tolerance stance against land grabbing offences very clear, just as he assured that every legitimate investment made in the state would be protected by government.

Mr. Bakare further assured residents that information given by them against the nefarious activities of land grabbers will be treated with utmost confidence, a statement by Kayode Oyekanmi, assistant director of public affairs at the Lagos State Ministry of Justice, said.

According to him, the state government will immediately begin the prosecution of the arrested Omo Onile Kingpin, to serve as deterrent to others that no one is above the law in Lagos State.

While warning those in the act to steer clear of Lagos, Mr. Bakare also said the task force would intensify efforts to make the state unbearable for their nefarious activities.

Recall that earlier this year, at the commissioning of the new office of the Special Taskforce on Land Grabbing, the State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Adeniji Kazeem, promised to go after any godfather aiding and abetting the criminal activities of the Omo Oniles in the state, saying “no matter who you are and your status, we will come after you and prosecute you”.

Chinese Boss Cripples Employee With Kung Fu Kicks

A worker with Bedmate Furniture Company, Magboro, Ogun State, William Ekanem, is in pain after his spinal bone was allegedly damaged by his Chinese boss, identified as Master Wan.

Punch Metro learnt that Master Wan, who is skilled in kung fu, had demanded to see a bag of rice which Ekanem bought from a foodstuffs seller, identified as Iya Melo, on the premises of the company.

The 27-year-old had reportedly challenged the Chinese for poking his nose into his personal business.

After forcefully checking the content, Ekanem said he was leaving when Master Wan allegedly gave him a kick in the back, which sent him sprawling on the ground.


The suspect was said to have stamped his foot on the victim before he was rescued by some other workers on the premises.

Punch correspondent gathered that since the incident, Ekanem had not been able to walk well or stand straight.

The victim said although the case was reported at the Ibafo Police Station, the Divisional Crime Officer allegedly took a N50,000 bribe from the Chinese company.

He was said to have backed the company against the Uyo, Akwa Ibom State indigene, who was accused of exaggerating the assault.

Ekanem, during a chat with Punch correspondent, noted that the incident happened sometime in April.

He said, “I joined the company on January 7, 2007 and rose to become a foreman, overseeing black workers in a department of the company. Despite working for long, my salary is only N34,000. I don’t have an identity card and I am not a member of staff just like the rest of the over 300 workers at the company.

“Sometime in April 2017, I approached the foodstuffs seller on the premises to give me rice and groundnut oil on credit pending when we would be paid our salaries at the end of the month.

“I was taking the foodstuffs to the office when Master Wan demanded to know what was inside the bag. Because he didn’t understand English, I simply said, ‘rice, chop-chop’.

“He dipped his fingers into the sack and checked it. I protested against the action. He hit me in the chest as I collected my bag from him. I was walking away when he suddenly gave me a kung fu kick from the back. I fell. He charged at me with his foot and pinned me to the ground. I lay on the floor and started groaning with pain as some people came to drag him away from me.”

He said he was thereafter taken to a private hospital in the Arepo area, where he was given an injection.

Punch Metro learnt that the company gave Ekanem N10,000 for his medical expenses, while the company’s Nigerian manager, identified only as Lekan, assured the hospital that Bedmate would pay for all the expenses.

He was said to have been asked to go home by the doctor, who said a specialist would be contacted to treat him.

Upon Ekanem’s return to the hospital the following Monday, it was learnt that the result of a test he did showed his spinal cord had “shifted”.

The doctor reportedly gave him a list of drugs and asked him to take time off to rest.

The victim said the pain,, however, aggravated as he could no longer sleep.

Around that time, Ekanem’s pregnant wife reportedly gave birth.

“I went to the company to collect my N34,000 salary. When I got there, they gave me N24,000 and said they had removed the N10,000 they gave me for my feeding and treatment at the hospital.. I broke down in tears at the company. I could not believe they could treat me so shabbily. I left in anger.  I was thinking about the situation on the road when I slumped,” he added.

He said together with a friend and some rights activists, the case was reported at the Ibafo Police Station.

Punch Metro was told that the Ibafo DCO detailed two policemen to join Ekanem in arresting the Chinese man at the company on that Friday.

Master Wan, however, reportedly fled and went into hiding on sighting the policemen at the company.

The policemen were said to have been kept waiting for over two hours on the company premises as Lekan, the Nigerian manager, reprimanded Ekanem for inviting the police.

“When it was getting dark, Lekan promised to bring Master Wan to the station by 10am the following Monday. He followed us back to the station and promised the DCO that he would personally bring the man.  He gave the DCO N50,000 in our presence,” the victim said.

Punch correspondent was told that by 8am on Monday, Lekan, the Chinese head of the company and others arrived at the station without the suspect.

Ekanem said he was called by his brother, who asked him to hurry to the station.

The DCO allegedly supported the company and scolded Ekanem’s brother for not resolving the issue amicably.

“I started crying. I told him that if I were his son, would he say such a thing to me? Shortly after, the Chinese head asked me and my brother to excuse them. As we were stepping out, I sighted him
giving the DCO another envelope.

“Our lawyer arrived shortly after and started an argument with them. The lawyer threatened to report the DCO to the Area Command and transfer the case from the division,” the 27-year-old added.

It was learnt that the police later referred the victim to another private facility, Divine Touch Hospital, Ibafo.

Lekan, the Nigerian manager, was alleged to have pressured Ekanem to drop the case, saying he could not fight the Chinese company due to his poor background.

He was reportedly abandoned at the hospital for two weeks, as the police and the company refused to care for him.

The matter was subsequently transferred to the Sagamu Area Command.

Ekanem was said to have been referred for further checks and treatment at the General Hospital, Owode.

The company’s lawyer, Ayo Durojaiye, later said the company had decided to give the victim N134,000.

“The lawyer said it was because I was hungry that I looked malnourished. He said the company had instructed that I should spend N100,000 on my feeding, and take N34,000 as my salary. He said I could return to work afterwards. My lawyer disagreed with him and expressed disgust over my treatment,” he added.

Ekanem’s lawyer, Felix Emeruwa, demanded an apology from the company and payment of N50m compensation.

Emeruwa, in a letter addressed to the Area Commander, Shagamu Command, accused the company of attempting to suppress justice in a case of assault occasioning harm, inhuman treatment and discrimination.

The lawyer also accused the Arepo hospital of compromising medical ethics in order to please the Chinese company.

“As we speak, our client is seriously emaciated, suffering several pains at the back and dying gradually as a result of the attack on him by the Chinese man. We believe that the spinal cord of our client is now seriously affected. We consider the action of Master Wan as cruel, wicked and an attempt to subject the life of our client to the sacred form of sadism,” the letter read in part.

A medical test conducted by Divine Touch Hospital, according to Emeruwa, revealed that Ekanem suffered “loss of lumbo, sacral curvature, and associated muscular spasm resulting in his inability to walk, bend and flex.”

When contacted, Dr Dotun Odofin of Divine Touch Hospital, said for the two weeks that he treated Ekanem, Bedmate did not pay him anything, adding that instead, he spent his personal money on the patient.

He said, “Physical examination showed that there is a loss of curvature. The effect of that is that there is a problem with his mobility. He cannot stand straight or walk freely.  I brought in a physiotherapist for the treatment. What he actually needed was to complete his treatment which will span for a month.

“He does not need any surgery or any other treatment. The physiotherapist charged N100,000 for one month and two weeks treatment.

“While he was here, I made a deposit of N10,000 for him. Nobody has given me anything. I was even the one feeding him. I gave him N500 every day.”

The doctor at the Owode general hospital, who did not want to be identified, said the victim was not exaggerating the effect of the assault.

The Nigerian manager of Bedmate, Lekan, insisted that the victim was pretending, adding that he could not talk about the incident.

“I can’t say anything on it because I was not there when it happened between them. The only thing I know is that the guy is pretending,” he said.

The company’s lawyer, Durojaiye, promised to get back to Punch correspondent after a meeting with Ekanem’s lawyer, Emeruwa.

He did not get back as of press time and did not reply calls and a text message sent by our correspondent.

A musician and member of the Peace Messengers, Rachael Sparkle, described the incident as sad.

She said efforts by her group to settle the case had been frustrated by the company, who treated them with disdain.

Her husband, Ras Sparkle Black Moses, said, “It is unbelievable that these Chinese men can come to our country and treat us as they like. Can you imagine that up till now, the police have not arrested this man? They don’t even care.”

The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the Divisional Police Officer of the Ibafo Police Station was on special duties in Maiduguri.

“I am trying to get in touch with one of the officers at the station. I will get back as soon as I get a feedback from Ibafo,” he added.
