Nigerians have reacted to a request made by Uchenna Precious Onwuamadike, the wife of notorious kidnapper, Chikwudubem Onwuamadike popularly known as Evans, that the Federal Government should have mercy on the kidnap kingpin.
In an interview with Vanguard newspaper, Onwuamadike said she was ready to come back to Nigeria from her base to plead on behalf of her husband, adding that the news came as a shock to her.
In her words, “I am appealing to the powers that be to spare his life (crying), as I speak now, I am kneeling down with my children, crying and begging for forgiveness.
“Have mercy on us. He did not know what he was doing. He did not know what came over him. I am ready to come back to Nigeria and plead on his behalf. What I am reading in the news is shocking.
“Though, I have not heard that he killed anybody but all those he injured or took their money should please forgive him because me and my children.
“They should kindly forgive him, he will repent. God knows I will not be alive and see my husband doing bad thing and keep quiet. All his wealth should be sold off and given to his victims” she said.
Displeased with the request, Nigerians took to micro blogging site, Twitter to react to the matter which has since become a national issue.
