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. The document signed by the Nigerian Assistant Commissioner of Police, ACP Abba Kyari said Mr Onwuamadike has moved his wife and five children to Ghana because of the nature of his business.

The duplex structure is where Mrs Uchenna Precious Onwuamadike is said to reside with their children. The 31-year-old woman in a telephone conversation with Nigeria’s Vanguard newspaper from Ghana said she was not aware her husband was into kidnapping business

She said he told her he deals with spare parts and shipping business and his reason for moving them to Ghana was for the children to have a good education. Based on this reason, she relocated with the children while her husband stayed behind to continue his trade.

Nigerian Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Kpotun Idris spoke to Joy News’ Maxwell Agbagba about the details of the Ghanaian passports, locations of the plush buildings of Mr Onwuamadike as well as some collaboration with the Ghana IGP, David Asante Apeatu.

He said the Nigerian police is very interested in the case because of the criminal in question who kidnaps people and takes ransom in United States dollars. He also has properties across countries and has reputation for perpetuating notorious acts in the sub-region while his family is tucked away in Ghana.

He said he will collaborate with the Ghana Police Service because Evans’ acts go beyond the shores of his country Nigeria.

“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 properties in Ghana as well as copies of his passports,” he said.

According to the Nigerian IGP, the documents available to them so far revealed that Evans victims are all Nigerians.
