Did Davido’s Music Lead To The Arrest Of Billionaire Kidnapp

We are not sure, but Evans the notorious billionaire kidnapper
may have been found because of Davido’s hit single, If.

The song has been rocking the airwaves for months now and
can be heard on the lips of very many young persons, from
adults even (maybe unfortunately) school children. A conspicuous
line in the chorus “30 Billion for the account” (pronounced
‘akant’) is arguably the most sung verse in the song.

 Not everyone has taken to the boast about such obviously
outrageous amount of money in music to demonstrate success, as
Nollywood veteran, Patrick Doyle, recently voiced his opinion.
But did it inspire the Nigerian Police to place a N30m bounty
on Evans the kidnapper?

It would be recalled that on May 16, the Nigeria Police had
made the offer to any person who would come forward with
information on the dreaded kidnapper.

This followed the
whistle-blowing wave that had been introduced by the Federal
Government in encouraging citizens towards being engaged in
the anti-corruption fight. A sprinkle of reports has been made
so far to the anti-corruption body, notably the NIA’s stash at
the Ikoyi residence.

Evans was nabbed on June 10, 2017, in his bedroom in the
Magodo area of Lagos.

The arrest came after many of his
accomplices had been rounded up from different locations about
two weeks before. According to accounts that were familiar
with the process, the arrest of Evans’ gang members had come
after the miraculous escape of a wealthy owner of a
pharmaceutical company in the Ilupeju area of Lagos, named as
Donatus Dunu who had been abducted on February 14, 2017.

Donatus would later proceed, after his escape, to security
agents who moved to uncover the various ports and docks of
the multi-level supply chain of Evans kidnapping enterprise that
eventually led to his bedroom.

Following the account above, it is not a case of a tip-off from
a particular observing citizen, who was motivated to get the
N30 million in the account. So, maybe Davido’s song did not
play a role after all. Would have been nice if it did.
