Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, has claimed that bandits and other kidnappers in Nigeria copied the tactics of notorious billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, popularly known as Evans.
Gumi made the remark in a Facebook post on Friday while
reacting to reports of the discovery of illegal arms manufacturing sites in
Vom, Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State.
According to the cleric, Evans, who was arrested in 2017 for
high-profile kidnappings in Lagos, became a model for other criminal groups
across the country.
“Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike (commonly called “Evans”) – was
the most infamous kidnapper in Nigeria’s history, especially in Lagos. He
targeted wealthy individuals and demanded huge ransoms before his arrest in
2017. From him others copy,” Gumi wrote.
Recall that troops of Operation Enduring Peace uncovered
illegal arms factories allegedly linked to suspected Berom militia members
accused of fabricating weapons for attacks and killings in Plateau State.
Security operatives reportedly recovered fabricated AK-47
rifles, empty magazines, skeleton rifle parts and other weapons during the
operation.
