A Twitter campaign begging for mercy for the arrested kidnap baron, Chukwudubem Onwuamadike, alias Evans sparked outrage from Nigerians today, with some calling the masterminds, mad.
The campaign with the hashtag #FreeEvans followed an interview granted the Vanguard newspaper by Uchenna Precious Onwuamadike, the Ghana based Evans wife, in which the woman pleaded for a second chance for a man she had married for 14 years. She also asked for forgiveness for the family.
In the interview, conducted on phone, the 31 year old lady and mother of four claimed she was unaware her man was a kidnapper. She said Evans always told her he was into spare parts business but he never for once took her to his shop.
She also said among other things that she was not aware her husband was rich as the only money he ever gave her was N200,000 when she was taking the kids to South Africa on holidays.
But she did admit that she suspected something was amiss as her husband was very secretive and also shielded them from attending social events.
The pleading met unbridled outrage from Nigerians on Twitter.
