When Saturday Vanguard inquired from Evans on how he was able to evade arrest during his reign, he said he knew the dangers associated with kidnapping. Evans revealed that he maintained multiple 
identities, adding that he ensured there were no pictures of him in circulation.
He said: ââI beat security operatives over the years because my system is a sensor that detects problems. I donât use charms of any kind but I developed the ability to detect danger since my early days as an armed robber. That was why I was able to know that the Police were close to me even when they havenât informed me. I donât snap pictures. In fact, I donât have any picture. Nobody on earth had my picture before now. Even those who are very close to me donât have my picture.
I donât snap pictures
ââMy mother doesnât have my pictures. My wife and siblings donât have them as well. My pictures are not in my house and that made it difficult for security agents to apprehend me because they donât know how I look like. Another issue you may have to take into consideration is the fact that I have numerous names for different people. My wife knows me as Somtochukwu, while all my girlfriends knew me as Mike. My neighbors at Gowon Estate knew me as George.
ââI was also known as Sunny in Benin while in Portharcourt, I was known as Richard. These are the reasons it was difficult for policemen to track and arrest me. No one has my pictures and the names I bear in Lagos werenât the names I had in other states. Ifeanyi (calling our reporterâs name), I would have been worse than this if I had proper education. With education, I could have done worse things and be elusive. But thank God itâs over and I have been stopped.
