Exactly 32 years ago today, the notorious bandit who terrorised Benin City and almost the Whole state in Nigeria.

The 80s , Lawrence Nomanyagbon Anini A.K.A. “Ovbigbo” or “the Law” and some members of his gang were executed by firing squad after being convicted by the defunct Bendel Armed Robbery and Firearms Tribunal presided over by Justice James Omo-Agege

In an operation in August 1986, the Anini team struck at First Bank, Sabongida-Ora, where they carted away from some millions of naira. But although the amount was stolen was seen as “chicken feed”, many persons were killed.

On September 6, the same year, the Anini gang snatched a Peugeot 504 car from Albert Otoe, the driver of the famous super cop Assistant Inspector General of Police, Christopher Omeben.


In snatching the car, they killed the driver and went to hide his corpse somewhere. It was not until three months later that the skeleton of the driver was spotted 16 kilometers away from Benin City, along the Benin-Agbor highway.


A day after this attack, Anini, operating in a Passat car believed to have been stolen, also affected the snatching of another Peugeot 504 car near the former FEDECO office, in Benin.


Two days later, the Anini men killed two policemen in Orhiowon Local Government of the state. Still, in that month, three different robbery attacks, all pointing to Anini’s involvement, took place.

They include the murder of Frank Unoarumi, a former employee of the Nigerian Observer newspapers; the killing of Mrs. Remi Sobanjo, a chartered accountant, and the stealing of the Mercedes Benz car in Benin, of the Ughelli monarch, the Ovie.

Before September 1986 drew to a close, Anini struck at a gas station along Wire Road, Benin, where he stole a substantial part of the day’s sales.

He shot the station’s attendant and gleefully started spraying his booty along the road for people to pick.
