Operating across multiple states, his activities generated fear, headlines, and one of the largest manhunts in modern Nigerian history.

But the investigation that followed revealed an even bigger story, one involving enormous ransom payments, luxury properties, international connections, and years of evading capture. This episode examines the rise and fall of Evans the Billionaire Kidnapper, the criminal network attributed to him, the police operation that ended his run, and the legacy of one of Nigeria's most infamous crime figures.
