Veteran comedian, Ali Baba has condemned in strong terms the
calls for the freedom of kidnap kingpin, Chikwudubem Onwuamadike, aka, Evans.
Evans who was arrested early this month in connection with high profile kidnapping
cases. The arrest which has generated so many talking point in
social media.
He took to his social media page to voice his opinion on the
matter. According to him, the country is like this as a result of letting evils
done in the past go unpunished.
He wrote:
“I said it before, that we got here, where our country now
stagnates, as a consequence of what we failed to do, what we allowed and a
combination of all we did individually and collectively. But most assuredly, as
a result of letting evils in our society go unpunished. Someone goes into
government, owning only a bungalow, comes out after a term in office with
several properties, serious balances in their domicilary accounts, several cars…
yet there is no way, that official’s salaries and allowances can fund all
those.
And when questions are asked, it’s witch hunting. How much
was your paid tax since you are the owner of all these wealth indicators? How
did you make the money? Can you imagine some idiots are asking that a confessed
kidnapper be freed? We are not talking petty thieves, who steals food to feed
his family. Someone who caused families pain. Made the lives of their victims
hell. And even got some killed. How do you people sleep at night? I have a
friend, a commissioner in Ogun State, whose father in-law was kidnapped, ransom
was demanded and paid. Yet, over 5 or 6 years on, the body of the man has not
been found.
Did you see the robbers in the Zenith bank video that went
viral? How can you listen to such heartless criminals and say it’s ok to
forgive. How would the family of the police officer take it? Now you know why
corruption is fighting back. All those who have survived through lawlessness
and illicit businesses, are the ones fighting back on behalf of corruption.
Same goes for so-called unknown soldiers. There is a disagreement, next thing a
bunch of soldiers will hop on a vehicle raze down a police station, burn down a
BRT bus, shoot and maim… And this happens every now and then. Yet no heads
roll. That’s why they will do it again. Herdsmen enter someone’s farmland.
Trample on planted crops, an ongoing business concern. Even schools. No
consequences. A legislator opens a colleague’s head with a mace. No punishment.
Someone kidnaps a sitting governor and brags about it. Nothing happens to him.
You embezzle pensions of elders who served Nigeria. And walk free. You burst
pipelines. And get Amnesty of 1.3m monthly. What do I know…”
