In an exclusive interview at his country home at Akammili, Umudim, Nnewi, Anambra State, Evans’ father, Stephen Onwuamadike, said: “My son is a good boy, but his mother misled him
I was devastated when I heard the news through a telephone call; since that call, I had not been able to sleep. I was one of the early millionaires that emerged from this town until things went wrong courtesy of my first wife in 1985 , NewTelegraph reports.
She caused me so many problems and eventually caused my financial ruins. In fact, she brought me down to where I am today. I’m suffering and I can barely put food on my table.
My estranged wife kept interfering in his academics. You won’t believe that my son has not visited home since 2008. The last time I saw him was 10 years ago. I asked him the sort of business he was into. .
He said he was into drug trafficking. I advised him to desist because it was an illicit business and the law was against it. I told him plainly that it was better to be involved in a legitimate business and wait for God’s blessings. .
I did good business and it thrived; I was very successful. I have travelled to so many countries of the world in the course of my business. His mother started manipulating him when he was only 3 years old; look at where it has got him. .
I don’t even have his phone number. I’m pleading with the Nigerian authorities to have mercy on him and give him a second chance. He was misdirected and misled by his mother. .
I heard about all the millions, and I said to myself, do I have such manner of rich son and the roof over my house is leaking. I now survive by selling pigs.” .
Evans’ stepmother, Etty Onwuamadike, broke down in tears. She said: “Chukwudumeje is a nice boy when he lived with me. The only gift I gave him years back was the Holy Bible. I don’t want my son to die. I’m still convinced he will serve God.”
