Since they don't use batons anymore but are synonymous with bribes, is it safe to call them 'egunje' now?

This batons we're enough during the colonial rule because Armed robbers weren't also carrying guns before the civil war.

Although, organized armed robbery gangs was started in Nigeria by Bello Jaguda (a former failed musician from Ilorin who moved to Lagos) in 1920, their weapons were mostly limited.

After the civil war, a large number of Nigeria who already knew how to operate guns were disengaged into the civilian population. This was the beginning of sophisticated armed robbery in Nigeria.




Wow, so Jaguda was a real person's name. You learn every day.
Anini, Oyenusi will also become extinct like Jaguda.
