On this date in 1971, the Nigerian robber Ishola Oyenusi —
“smiling to his death,” in the words of the next day’s paper
— was publicly shot with his gang at Lagos Bar Beach .
Dubbed “the most dangerous criminal of this decade” even though the Seventies were barely underway “Doctor” Oyenusi — as he liked to style himself — sprang out of the
wreckage of the 1967-1970 Nigerian Civil War, a charismatic, cocksure gangster. whose lordly disdain for the law cast the terrifying portent of social breakdown. Beyond Oyenusi loomed a systematic breakdown in social
order that would long outlive him. In years to come, other
celebrity crime lords would follow him; eventually, armed
robbery would proliferate into a frightfully ubiquitous feature of life in Lagos. Maybe the Doctor smiled at the stake because he foresaw his legacy.
Disturbingly unable to combat the plague systematically,
authorities would resort to occasional high-profile
executions instead, provided, of course, that the culprit’s
misappropriations were of the retail street-crime variety,
rather than the fruits of wholesale corruption .
Oyenusi was never in the same universe with such exalted
impunity. He got into the robbery business back in 1959,
boosting a car (and murdering its owner into the bargain) to
make it rain for his broke girlfriend. While he eventually
expanded his operations into a brutal syndicate, he was still
just a hoodlum; the infamy that packed the Bar Beach with
30,000 fellow humans who booed and jeered Oyenusi to the
stake was merely enough to make him worth the quashing.
(He was condemned to death specifically for a raid on the
WAHUM factory in March 1971 that also claimed the life of a
police constable.)
Six members of Oyenusi’s crime ring went with him to the
stake on the same occasion. An eighth man was also shot
in the batch for an unrelated armed carjacking.
