3. Shina Rambo

Shina Rambo is one name that has refused to go away especially from the brains of those who witnessed the nightmare of this criminal.
With a name that reminds one of the movie “First Blood” starring Sylvester Stalone as John Rambo, Shina Rambo made a dreaded name for himself, launching attacks that made even the police force fear to battle him.
It is fabled that Shina Rambo will rob a full highway with his gang, shooting sporadically like a soldier at war. There are stories that say he was killed in operation, however, some other accounts say he died like an ordinary man.
. Shina rambo isn't dead, he is a pastor now

They started out as car hijackers, bus robbers and bank thieves. Gradually, he extended his criminal acts to other towns and cities far north and east of Benin.
It is echoed in some quarters that on one mission which eventually went south, Anini drove from Benin to Lagos with reverse.

What about the Otokoto saga that shook owerri( eastern nigeria) in 1996 and all those 419ers and ritualists involved in the many blood money cases. I will never forget that period... That has to be one of the biggest crimes of the 20th century.

SAMBARRY:
they relied so much on jazz.it was their vodoo charms that gave them an exaggerated form of confidence that they we're so illusive but apparently every jazz NO matter how powerful usually has it's own expiry date and sometimes also they forget to stay away from the taboos given to them by their babalawos.some will tell them don't eat fried chicken but they will forget it and eat it.sometimes it might be their wives that prepare it for them and so they won't know. They might have finished eating it before their wives tell them that they just ate chicken

Some other babalawos will tell them don't Have sex with any lady that has given birth and so in their womanizing spree a lady can repackage herself and pretend she hasn't given birth or even lie just so she can get money from him

Some will say don't drive a car at so so time but they will go to club get drunk or high and drive. The list is endless but thank God all the notorious dreaded criminals like the oyenusis and aninhs have been wiped off

Moreso the real powerful babalawos have all died many with no records of how they did their jazz because they were illiterates who couldnt write and so they died with their information and antidote to strip thieves off their vodoo power.anyway the contemporary babalawos aren't as powerful as their Pioneers and are unable to do jazz that will make their clients so powerful, difficult to catch elusive and lasting. The contemporary jazz is less powerful and usually lasts for maximum of 2years and even have to consult their Oracle to know how they can catch powerful and notorious thieves.those police officers that eventually caught the likes of oyenusi had to even carry out a thorough research of who oyenusi is.he had to trace him down to his mother's house,what he likes doing who his uncle is and who the rest of the family are so that he can get information from them and that was where he knew the babalawo giving him backup but unfortunately didn't get out all the information he needed.he had to move close to the man's mother buy things for her and make friends with her before he could eventually get the secret of his power. He went as a spy or underground Corp learnt about the environment etc had to travel regularly to oyebusis village so you can imagine how many years it will have taken and how much havoc oyenusi will have caused for those period while someone was still spying on his family


When oyenysi was eventually about to be caught he just did what the mother told him to do and oyenusi was dead shocked how one of the police officers knew. Of course his power was stripped off from him and was immediately arrested. Another reason he was able to get information was because oyenusi stepped on powerful toes in the occult so they needed him dead


That's why IF you want to know the genesis of a man,how to make or destroy him no matter how powerful HE is just move close to the mother and woe beside him if HE has abandoned the mother in the village to suffer and someone just comes and starts bringing food,provisions etc OR starts showing mama love and care the son didnt give her and always comes from time to time to check on mama when her only child abandoned her. She will naturally be endeared to him not knowing his or her motives and will just start divulging deep secrets from the heart about her son that even the dead husband or the son know before you know it he's a dead meat.

When I watched the movie I remember the mother saying any child that doesn't remember his source because the going is good for him will dry up

Not even the wife came to check on his mother

Nice.
Never ever neglect your mother no matter how get her to be praying for u.
Thats a secret that kept me going for the past years

Pls, if you say dreaded...okay. But "notorious"? Hmm

The Anajembas in the history of crime go down as a story to reckon with...

https://www.nairaland.com/2108148/biggest-419-job-ever-242m

Anajemba, whose late husband masterminded the swindling of the Sao Paolo-based Banco Noroeste S.A. between 1995 and 1998, was charged along with Emmanuel Nwude and Nzeribe Okoli.

The prosecution said the three accused obtained the $242 million by promising a member of the bank staff a commission for funding a non-existent contract to build an airport in Nigeria's capital Abuja.

All three accused pleaded not guilty, but Anajemba later changed her mind to enter a guilty plea in order to receive a shorter sentence.

1. Aninih

Unarguably Nigeria’s most dreaded criminal, Lawrence Nomanyagbon Anini was a Nigerian bandit who terrorised Benin city in the 1980s along with his sidekick Monday Osunbor.
Anini in the hospital after being injured and apprehended.
Anini was dreadfully called ‘The Law’ or ‘Ovbigbo’. He migrated to Benin at an early age, learned to drive and became a skilled taxi driver.
Reports suggest that he became known in Benin motor parks as a man who could control the varied competing interests among motor park touts and operators.
Anini is widely recognized as a driver and transporter for gangs, criminal godfathers and thieves. He created a gang which included, Monday Osunbor, Friday Ofege, Henry Ekponwan, Eweka and Alhaji zed zed or Zegezege who was never captured.
They started out as car hijackers, bus robbers and bank thieves. Gradually, he extended his criminal acts to other towns and cities far north and east of Benin.
It is echoed in some quarters that on one mission which eventually went south, Anini drove from Benin to Lagos with reverse.



I hail o...anini was just a driver for the group and he never formed the group. He was a professional driver and when the white men came to take him oversea , they refused....he was so skilled in driving....most of the gang members are deadly than him and most of em disappear in danger. they Stole government money and drive to the market and throw it in the air. He betrayed by his wife . Osunbor started singing when they were about to be executed and the cloud change and it was dark , after enough shooting and shooting, no one bullet pierced him . He gave up when he looked at his right and left ,he saw that he was the one left , then he sent somebody to go to his house to break a clay pot or else no bullet can kill him ...They did that and he was killed.........

4. Derico Nwanmama

Okwudili Ndiwe also known as Derico Nwamama was dubbed the king of the underworld in the south-eastern region of Nigeria. According to reports, Derico was a street urchin who grew in a dreaded gang leader, one whose name sent tremor to the hearts of many within the eastern region.
Traders and residents of Onitsha, the commercial capital of Anambra state were the ones who felt his scourge the most.
According to reports, Derico Nwamama had killed over 100 people including 25 police officers whose lives he mercilessly wasted. He was a master of countless bus robberies and will not blink twice before pumping his hot lead bullets into the beating hearts of hapless victims.
There is a legend that after his successful raids, he would boast and declare himself invincible. Derico seemed to have placed a lot of faith and confidence in the charms prepared for him by the traditional witch doctors.
Prior to his being crowned king of thieves in Anambra, there was a Chiejina who was described as the deadliest armed robber in the whole state. Derico’s father too was from Aguleri and in no time, the paths of the two met and they became very good friends and colleagues in the armed robbery business.
However, their friendship would not last for long as bloody arguments soon broke out between the two of them over the scope and nature of executing their operations. Both of them were at the peak of their strengths and they were equally feared all over the region.
The brutality of Derico soon proved too toxic for Chiejina, and during a violent argument over their mode of operation and leadership, Derico blasted Chiejina to an early grave with a volley of bullets. After the death of Chiejina, Derico became the undisputed emperor of terror in the land.
In May 2001, the Anambra state police command launched the Operation Derico which was aimed at capturing Derico and his gang members at all cost. Some of Derico’s men were arrested in the police offensive, but Dericoa was still elusive as he kept operating with reckless abandon, robbing, killing and kidnapping innocent Nigerians.

Deri was killed by Bakassi not the police.
