How Kidnapper Evans plotted prison escape, offered warden N20 million

A plot by billionaire kidnapper, Onwumadike Chukwudumeme, also known as Evans to escape from his prison cell has been uncovered by men of the Nigerian Police Force.

Evans is alleged to have attempted to give between $50,000 and $100,000 to one of the guards manning his cell to facilitate his escape, The Nation reports.

The report said the kidnap kingpin was plotting the escape before his recent arraignment in court.

A source who was quoted in the report, said Evans was allegedly coordinating his escape bid with some members of his gang by telephone which he obtained through “suspicious” means.

The source said, “When Evans was in our custody, he tried to escape but we were able to abort all his plans. We discovered that he had access to phones which were hidden in the middle of loaves of bread, eba, semovita and so on.

“He was making calls from these smuggled phones in the middle of the night, making arrangements with some yet to be identified members of his gang to arrange for his escape.

“We intercepted how he was luring one of the guards with about $50,000 to $100,000. He wanted an insider to serve as informant to him and members of his gang.”

HAVING A 'WORK SPOUSE' MAKES YOU HAPPIER

Ben Friberg knew he had met someone special at work when they bonded over their knowledge of Greek mythology. He had just started working as a photographer at a television news station in Austin, Texas in 2007 and he and his colleague, a reporter, were waiting to interview someone for a story. “We were still in the ‘getting to know you’ phase,” says Friberg. They started discussing the movie Troy, and she pointed out the discrepancies between the movie and the Iliad, the Greek story it loosely chronicles. “I can remember thinking, ‘this is going to be a different type of relationship,’” says Friberg.
