I decided to share my experience when I saw some area boys fighting in Sura, Lagos this morning. I remember what I passed through years back.

Here is my story.

After my NYSC, I was fortunate to get a job with one bank as a graduate trainee. I was living fine with a decent income. Because of my low income, and because I didn’t want to service high rent until I get a better job or improved income, I decided to rent a house somewhere in Oko-Oba agege, Lagos.

The street is so rough. Many area boys here and there. Some places are rough in Lagos. Sorry to say Osogbo where I come from is not rough when compared to Lagos (Bar some Ikejas and VIs of this world).
There is this particular gang. They call them ‘Landlord’. They are the most notorious. They have their post where they sit all day, like police. They sit at the entrance of our street and they watch people as they go and come. They are in charge of all the girls in the street.

I, doing a white collar job. I have nobody in Lagos. Na work carry me come Lagos. I wake up early in the morning, notch my tie and suit, go to work, come back in the evening. I had no problem with anyone. I didn’t even expect anyone to know me because I was always coming late at night. Some co-tenant even challenged me that they didn’t know someone like me stays under the same roof with them.
To cut the story short, I got a call at work that some guys have burgled my house. I rushed down from work. They broke my door, cart away my laptop, some cash, my home theatre, my jeans, shoes e.t.c. I counted my loss, filed a police report and moved on. The following week, it was a Saturday, I usually spend my Saturday doing training, but this Saturday, I was expecting a chick, so I stayed home. I decided to buy some fruits for my date. I went to the entrance of a street, low and behold, I saw one of these area boys wearing my stolen shoe. I looked at the shoe, I made sure he saw me checking it out. He looked at me, made some funny face to tell me “What are you gonna do?”.

I looked at them and saw another guy with a round neck. It was my best cloth. I remember I bought it in one classic boutique at Ikeja. It pained me when I lost it. I rushed home to inform my Landlord. I told him I would go and inform the police. He said he knew they were the one that broke into my room, but he would advise me not to take any action. He said, based experience, police will arrest them in the morning and before evening, and they will return to the same post in the evening and start hunting me. They are above the law. They work with the police. Police can’t do them anything.

I felt bad, cheated and humiliated. But I let it go, but had it in mind that I was gonna revenge. I set a reminder on my phone to 3 months later when they would have forgotten what they have done. When they will not suspect me. I grew up in Osun state and I was privileged to know people. I called a guy who was my junior in secondary school. We call him “Sheu”, he was a member of OPC then but later dropped OPC and became his own Kingpin. He joined politics and started organizing boys for Political parties. His father is a muslim native doctor “Afa”. Sheu is one talented gangster and a spiritualist. There was a time he even went to fight Fulani herdsmen when they were disturbing Ede town. He was like my school son then, now a big man.

I called him, I narrated everything. He said “Egbon, no lele” He said I should give them my address. He came in person to visit me, he went to their junction to inspect and access them. He told me it’s an easy task. He will teach them a lesson. I expressed my worry that if they know I was the one, it will complicate matter. He said, I should leave the matter to him.

I didn’t know how it happened. I returned from work one day. I saw police on my street manning every corners. I looked at the juncture, landlord gangs were nowhere to be found. I suspected my handiwork, but was not sure. I got home, people gave me account of what happened. They said some gangs from another street came to attack those boys. They said they have never seen such people before. They were armed to the tooth with guns and charms. They said our area boys have been hospitalized. They seriously injured them. They mention one guy that he was at the point of death as they speak. They stabbed him on the neck and it fatal. They said they thought those area boys have charms, but these visitors charms passed their own. It was a clean Job, they maimed them and escaped, they came in 2 buses.

I quickly rushed to one corner and called sheu. He said “task completed with no trace” I should put my mind at rest.
After like a month when they recover from their wounds, some of them left the street. Some remained and what I saw was inter-cult war. Street cults started suspecting each-other. There were many in-fighting. None of them suspected me up till today, even after I left their street. I even met one when I paid my old house a visit. He said “Bros long time oooo, you don fat ooo… you don leave this area? Anything for boys?”

hmmmmmm
