Akidi kididindi...
Nkem owoh, Victor Osuagwu (drunk), Sam loco, that short dwarfish man..., Rita Edochie etc. they had to runaway from the village at night due to their evil.
I remember.

Including the movie Eze ebunafo. ft Emeka Eyiocha who terrorized the community and was later killed by Mmiri Nwamma.
This movie was a replica of the Derico nwamma incident

The movie Issakaba 1, 2 & 3...Ebube as the leader... forgotten his name.

There's this other movie Sam loco was evil, his son Osita iheme became the head of Issakaba boys while Chinedu Ikedieze who was a University teacher became their native doctor backing the Issakaba. This movie portrayed the Eddie Nneogu era.
good old days of Nollywood. Remember ukwa and how amechi muonago refused to dumb the staff given to him by the prophet into the river and later died.

Oh, they were disbanded when the outfit began to misbehave, became politicised and some of their members began to engage in criminalities.

But while they were active, criminals fled the SE and peace returned. There were a few excesses but people respected themselves. I think the SE needs such an outfit again during these perilous times.
Did criminals flee or did the criminals become Bakassi Boys?

Is it not criminal to behead others?

See jungle justice! They torture him then "he allegedly made startling confessions and acknowledged he was guilty of human sacrifice", so they "eventually beheaded and had other parts of his body cut in little pieces by the Bakassi Boys after which all the parts were gathered together & set ablaze at the Ochanja Market in Anambra state, Nigeria"!

Say "No" to jungle justice. It is unintelligent!

Do you still remember this prophet?

Eddie Nawgu (born Edward Onyebuchi Okeke in the year 1957) alias was "Alusi N'eje Uka" this when translated to the English language means "The Diety Who Goes To Church", was a Nigerian self-proclaimed prophet of God and occult practitioner. He bore several sobriquets throughout his life time but was predominantly known in the mid-1990s as "Eddy Nawgu" amongst the Igbo. His other sobriquet "Eddie na Nawgu" came about because he was from the Nawgu community, a town situated in the Dunukofia LGA of Anambra State.

At the age of 29, Eddie “Nawgu” Okeke, claimed he had been touched by the Biblical God and was given the ability to “see” and “perceive” what the ordinary human eye or other four senses could not intercept.

Shortly after he began his ministry, he built a church-like structure and named it “Anioma Healing Centre”.According to Eddie Nawgu , his reasons for creating the “Anioma Healing Centre”, was to heal the sick people in the community and restore hope to people who had thought previously that their existence on earth was meaningless and was without bearing. However , that wasn’t exactly the case.

During the mid-1990s in Onitsha, Anambra State, Eddie Nawgu had started to grow famous, as he had some how managed to gather a good percentage of the community as followers, who thought of him as a charismatic religious leader and also it seemed the "Prophet" kept to his words as tales of how he had enriched and bettered the lives of various individuals began to spread.

The self-proclaimed prophet of God had become a person of interest in numerous crimes committed not only in the community, but across the state. As a result, he had begun to attract the attention of the Bakassi boys; a vigilante security group which was set up and spearheaded under the tenure of Chinwoke Mbadinuju, former Governor of Anambra State with a mandate to fish out criminals, sponsors of criminal gangs and men of questionable characters.

The Bakassi Boys weren't like any other vigilante group because they supposedly harnessed very great "metaphysical powers" to aid them in intercepting thieves and law breakers in general.

The capture of Eddie was indeed difficult because the self-proclaimed prophet was, as reported by the Nigerian media; a sorcerer who allegedly could defy the rules of Physics and had the ability to teleport regardless of the distance. As a result of this, his apprehension was tagged the most difficult for the vigilante group. Not until the intervention from their leader "Ngwuro" who managed to strip the sorcerer of his alleged mystic abilities were they able to finally capture the self-proclaimed prophet of God.

High-profile government workers and officials allegedly interceded for the release of Eddie Nawgu as reported by the head of the vigilante group; Mr Ngwuro. Although, the names of these officials were never mentioned, it wasn't impossible that this sort of request was made by the elite individuals in the Nigerian society as the Nigerian media had severally reported long before he was captured that Eddie had become closely associated with a good number of influential persons.

During his stay as prisoner in the apartment of the Bakassi Boys he allegedly made startling confessions and acknowledged he was guilty of human sacrifice. He was eventually beheaded and had other parts of his body cut in little pieces by the Bakassi Boys after which all the parts were gathered together & set ablaze at the Ochanja Market in Anambra state, Nigeria.

He was married to a certain Joyce Okeke and had a sum total of 8 children.

He was a legend in the Word of crime in Anambra State, Nigeria. he committed so many atrocities during his life time. Rumor even has it that,he 'buried alive' able bodied young men/women (human beings) inorder to do his foundation in his house and around his fence.

I don't think so.. read the full gist

I did. There’s another story behind his killing. Remember, his killing brought the end of Bakassi boys.
