Evan's mother is missing - Bed ridden uncle

*Charms failed me

* My wife ran away from my house without my knowledge’-

* I didn’t own my son, I want him back home -Father

Family members of Mrs. Chinwe Onwuamadike, mother of the billionaire kidnap king pin, Chukwumeme Onwuamadike, aka Evans, have denied knowing the whereabouts of the woman.

This even as Evans yesterday, revealed that he had believed in the charms of his native doctor, but the charms failed him. The native, based in Nnewi, Anabra State, is said to be a traditional ruler.

He was described as the backbone of Evans criminal activities, egging him on and telling that no policeman born of a woman would ever be able to catch or arrest him.

Evans uncle, Daniel Nwosu, who is bed ridden, stands as the head of the Nwosu’s family in Akamili village, Umudim, Nnewi, said he had not seen his sister in a very long while. He said that it was only Chinwe’s husband, Stephen Onwuamadike, who would be able to give account of her whereabouts.

In an exclusive interview with New Telegraph yesterday, Nwosu said: “I don’t have anything to say because I don’t know anything about the boy. If I see him now, I may not even recognize him.

“It’s been a very long time I saw him last. He doesn’t come home nor visit his maternal home. So, what can I say about him? You know children have a way with their mother. It’s possible she knows what Chidumeme (Evans) is into or not. It is the father or mother that can talk about their child. I don’t have anything to say, but I appeal to the authorities to have mercy on him and forgive him. Children of this generation do not listen to advice; if not, why would he delve into such bad business, knowing the implication. It is because of money? See where it has got him.’

Although Nwosu insisted he didn’t know the whereabouts of his sister, he however, added that when he heard the news of Evans via a phone call, he called Chidumeme’s mother to find out what was going on but she didn’t pick the call. She also didn’t call back.

Nwosu said that he has not been communicating with Chinwe for a long time because the woman doesn’t reach out to them.

In his words; “I have not spoken with Chidumeme’s mother for a very long time and I don’t know where she is and what is happening around her. She should be up there in her husband’s house, but now I’m hearing she is not there. I don’t understand what is happening. It’s unfortunate and sad. She is just who she is. I have been sick and bed ridden for a long time. I don’t go out at all hence; I don’t know what is happening around here.”

The long distance ride to Evans maternal home led to the discovery of a house allegedly built by Evans mother for one of her brother. The said brother is based in Port Harcourt.

However, the maternal home of the kidnap kingpin showed a quiet middle class home with a Rav 4 jeep packed in a garage.

Evans father had earlier said that his estranged wife left home not long before his son’s arrest without telling anybody where she was going to.

He also denied the rumour making round that he divorced Evans mother, saying: "I cannot divorce her because we took an oath on our wedding. The oath is that we will be together for better or worse, till death do us part. Death is the only thing that can separate us. I did not also disown Evans as is being circulated.

“He remains my son, and if he is given a second chance, he returns home, I will welcome and accept him. I regret that I didn’t know what he was into; if not, I would have been the one to stop him, by bringing my friends in the force to arrest and torture him to stop."

Evans yesterday said that his native doctor’s charms, which he had believed in for years, for reasons he couldn’t fathom, failed him.

According to him, after policemen stormed his Igando residence, where he used to keep victims, leading to gang members fleeing, he had run to the native doctor.

His words: “The native doctor resides in Anambra State Nnewi. He is a traditional ruler. After police busted our Igando hideout, he told me to have no fear. He said nothing would happen. He told me that nobody would be able to catch or arrest me. I believed him. I don’t know what went wrong.”
