Lagos-based kidnap kingpin, Chukwudi Dumeme Onuamadike, a.k.a Evans, has led a team of Policemen from the Federal Anti-kidnapping Unit to what used to be his detention camps for people he abducted.

The separate buildings, located in Igando and Ikotun in Lagos, are usually where the kidnap victims are kept for days or months while negotiation for ransom are made.

The kidnap kingpin who is now sober, told journalists that his arrest signals the beginning of the end of kidnapping in Nigeria, claiming that his gang applied the best sophistication ever which no gang may be able to equal.

Chaos seems to have risen on social media as Nigerians have been reacting to a #FreeEvans campaign that recently went viral particularly on Twitter.

The campaign follows the arrest of Lagos-based kidnap kingpin, Chukwudi Dumeme Onuamadike, a.k.a Evans.

Following his arrest, a twitter user was said to have first used the hashtag and tweeted that Igbos were being victimised.

Since the hashtag began to trend, many Nigerians have expressed their irritation as to why anyone might be in support of a kidnapper.
