How Evans Killed Stephanie Okereke’s Ex Husband’s 86-Year-Old Father After Collecting N15 Million Ransom by Whatelse(m) : 8:00 pm |
Chikelue Iloenyosi, who played professional football in France and Turkey, described his family’s encounter with Evans and his gang as a lengthy hide-and-seek game. He said one early morning on November 25, 2013, his father who was 86 at the time, was on his way back from their local Catholic church when three SUVs double-crossed him and whisked him away. According to the football star, that fateful day was the last time he would ever see his father alive again. Chikelue, who is actress Stephanie Okereke-Linus’ ex-husband, told PUNCH;
According to Chikelue, the kidnappers on the morning of the fifth day called to demand a ransom of N50m. The routine of begging and pleading for the reduction of the ransom started at this point and after many days, they eventually reduced the ransom to N15m. Chikelue said,
But upon payment of the ransom, the kidnappers said they were not releasing their victim until the family brought more money. But they never heard from the kidnappers again. However, after four months of investigation into the kidnap, said to have involved hundreds of policemen in Anambra State combing the forest at the time, security agencies got a break when a member of the gang that kidnapped Chikelue’s father, a suspect known as Nonso, was arrested along with three other members of his gang. Chikelue said at the time, Evans was already a popular criminal well known to the State Anti-Robbery Squad of the Anambra State Police Command. He was said to be a wanted robber known for hitting bullion vans.
According to him, the family had to involve a private investigator in the case at a point when there was no longer news about their father’s whereabouts months after the family paid the ransom. In addition to this, he said a friend of his based in Israel helped to track his father’s line and traced it to a young lady, who said Nonso was her boyfriend.
According to him, he and other members of the gang were said to have relocated there immediately they shared the ransom because many security agencies were after the gang. Chikelue said after identifying the hotel the suspect might be hiding in, some members of the SARS team in Kogi State moved in to make the arrest. He said,
The ex-footballer added that he was very hopeful at that point and believed he was indeed going to get his father back alive. Nonso, who was transported back to Anambra in the company of SARS operatives later provided the police with Evans’ phone line, with which they started tracking him. When the police team got to Anambra with the suspect, he reportedly began to plead not to be taken to SARS headquarters in the state for fear of being tortured and killed. He said he was willing to give up all the necessary information. Nonso told the police that Evans was always on the move after each operation. Chikelue said, “We were calling Evans to pinpoint his location but it was all abortive. Nonso was later made to call another member of the gang called Awolowo to inform him that there was an operation. “But Awolowo said he did not want to do any operation at the time because his wife had just put to bed. Nonso said Awolowo was part of Evans’ Asaba, Delta State group.†The police later arrested Awolowo and two others. For many days, these suspects were said to have kept mum. It was learnt that they refused to divulge any information about Evans, which the police suspected was owing to the fact that they had taken an oath. In fact, one of the suspects, who was on the verge of confessing was said to have suddenly started acting like someone with a mental illness. Even Nonso’s girlfriend who was also arrested was said to have refused to give any information that could implicate her boyfriend.
But he said while all these were going on, his only concern was knowing his father’s whereabouts. One day, while Chikelue was at the SARS office, he found a sudden ally in an armed robbery suspect called Onyeso, who was detained there. Chikelue said,
It was gathered that the late Pa Iloenyosi was buried around Nneyi village in Umueri community. But most heartbreaking was the information that the old man might have been starved or beaten to death. When Nonso was asked how the old man died, he explained that it was the fault of those manning the hideout where Evans kept the man. Pa Iloenyosi was said to have been stripped to his underwear, kept in a cold room and beaten regularly in order to put more pressure on his children. Chikelue said,
Chikelue said he was the happiest man in the world the day he heard Evans had been arrested. But he said he was particularly upset when he read that Evans was begging for his life with the excuse that he had never killed a victim before.
