Evans obtained fake Ghanaian
passport for himself, wife, kids – IGP
The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris,
has revealed that Nigerian kidnap kingpin, Chukwudubem Onwuamadike, also known
as Evans, did not only fraudulently secure a Ghanaian passport, but also
acquired one for the wife and
two of his children.
The IGP was speaking in an
interview with Ghanaian medium, Joy News, where he
disclosed that Evans was issued a Ghanaian
passport this year under a fake name, Asare Nelson in Accra. The Ghanaian
passport was found on Evans during when he was arrested on June 10 in his home
in Lagos.
According to the news outlet, the IG revealed
that Evans’ wife and two children
are also in possession of Ghanaian passports.
He explained that the Nigerian passport of
his wife bears the name Uchenna Precious Onwuamadike issued at the Abuja
passport headquarters while her Ghanaian passport bears the name Precious Asare
born sometime in July of
1985.
The children’s passports also
bear the last name Asare all issued in Accra, according to Idris.
A document signed by Assistant Commissioner
of Police, ACP Abba Kyari and presented to the IGP revealed that Evans has
moved his wife and five children to Ghana because of the nature of his
business.
IGP Idris also revealed that the kidnapper’s
residence in Ghana is located at the Spintex Road in Accra and that the duplex
structure is where Mrs. Uchenna Precious Onwuamadike resides with their children.
He said the Nigerian police is very interested
in the case because Evans kidnapped people and took ransom in United States
dollars.
He said he will collaborate with the Ghana
Police Service because Evans’ acts go beyond the shores of Nigeria. Idris said,
“I requested for my force in Nigeria to send me some documents to share with
the IGP to show him the locations of all his property in Ghana as well as
copies of his passports.
“Evans owns two big plush duplexes in Accra.”
“I hope Ghanaian police can take the fraudulent
acquisition of passport up to block people like him from acquiring Ghanaian
passports through dubious means,” he said.
According to the IGP, the documents available
to them so far revealed that Evans’ victims are all Nigerians
