Him and his gang terrorized Benin City and environs. There was one time I heard he drove with reverse for about half a kilometer.

*#HistoryVille*

In Benin City, the present-day capital of Edo State, in the 1980s, one name sent fear rippling through homes, businesses, and even police stations: Lawrence Nomanyagbon Anini, better known as “The Law” or “Ovbigbo.”

His story is one of crime, betrayal, and a reign of terror that exposed deep rot within the Nigerian police system.

Born in a village near Benin City in 1960, Anini moved into the city early, where he became a skilled taxi driver and a respected figure at motor parks.

But behind the wheel, he found more than passengers; an entry into the criminal underworld. Soon, he formed his own gang, including men like Monday Osunbor, Friday Ofege, Henry Ekponwan, and the elusive Alhaji Zed Zed.

They started small (carjackings, bus robberies, bank hits), but by 1986, they evolved into a well-oiled killing machine.

Anini’s war with the Nigerian police was sparked by betrayal. In early 1986, two of his gang members were tried and jailed, despite an alleged agreement with some corrupt officers to destroy the evidence. Feeling double-crossed, Anini declared war.

Between August and October 1986, he and his men were responsible for the killing of nine police officers, fatal robberies in Sabongida-Ora, Benin, Agbor, and other towns, the assassination of civilians, journalists, doctors, and even royalty, and an ambush on the state's Commissioner of Police, Casmir Akagbosu, on Independence Day.

In one infamous stunt, he threw stolen naira notes to cheering crowds, earning comparisons to Robin Hood.

So dangerous was Anini’s gang that General Ibrahim Babangida, Nigeria's then-military ruler, asked publicly during a security council meeting in October 1986:

"My friend, where is Anini?"

The Inspector-General of Police, Etim Inyang, had no answer, and shortly after, he resigned in disgrace.

After four months of evading capture, Anini was arrested on December 3, 1986, by Superintendent of Police Kayode Uanreroro at a house in Benin City.

Apparently found half-naked amidst six young women and off guard, he attempted a weak escape, but was shot in the leg, captured, and brought in.

With his charm belt removed, the once-fearless gang leader became a soft-spoken confessor, revealing how Chief Superintendent of Police George Iyamu provided arms, intel, and cover for the gang, often taking a cut from their loot.

Anini's revelations led to the conviction of five police officers, including Iyamu, and exposed how deeply corruption had eroded Nigeria’s security apparatus.

Confined to a wheelchair after his leg was amputated, Anini was tried and sentenced to death by Justice James Omo-Agege (1933-2016), who remarked:

“Anini will forever be remembered in the history of crime in this country, but it would be of unblessed memory.”

"The Law," as the notorious criminal was famously known, was executed by firing squad on March 29, 1987, along with other members of his gang. He was about 27 years old.

Do You Know The Policeman @FreeStuffsNG

I know him. I have encountered him.

Chelsea is pleased to confirm the signing of Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa.
In

The 18-year-old has signed a six-year contract with the Blues, which includes the option of a further year, and will join his new team-mates for pre-season next month.

Kellyman said: ‘It is fantastic to be standing here as a Chelsea player. It’s a massive club with an amazing history, so it is great to join. It is a dream come true for sure. I’m buzzing to have put on the shirt and can’t wait to get started.’

An attacking midfielder, Kellyman started his career at Derby County and spent ten years with the club before signing with Aston Villa in 2022.

The England youth international featured for Villa’s Under-18s and Under-21s during his first season with the club - and earned a nomination for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award.

Kellyman was part of Villa’s pre-season tour of the United States last summer and made his first-team debut in August 2023 during a 3–0 Europa Conference League victory over Hibernian.

He went on to make five further senior appearances last season, which included Premier League appearances against Manchester City and Crystal Palace.

Welcome to Chelsea, Omari!

Mariangeles:
You're welcome. 🙂

You seem to enjoy cooking and taking pictures of your food.
What do you think about posting on the cook and post thread sometimes?

I don’t cook often but when I decide to, I usually enjoy the process.

On the cook and post thread, I don’t mind.

Mariangeles:
Crisp picture.✨
Exactly how I like my fried yams.
Slightly brown.

I wouldn't pair crunchy fried yams with beans though.
I don't like anything interfering with my crunch.

Thanks. As for the crunchy fries combined with beans, I can understand that the beans douses the crunchiness of the yam.

Xosh:
Kudos to the shima that cooked it,if she has a sister please kindly connect ox

Shima ke🙄, I cooked my thing by myself.

When a married man whose wife and kids works, schools and lives in the nation’s capital, while he works in a beautiful south south state is left with options of either eating out, or cooks at home. This is the product of the later.

INGREDIENTS:
1. Brown beans
2. Vegetable oil
3. Slightly blended crayfish
4. Sliced fresh pepper
5. Salt
6 Onion
7. Paired knor cube

Every ingredient was available at home.

What exactly is the criteria for making your thread hit front page?🙄

Dear moderator(s) of this section, please, mbok, biko, ejor, do me a favour by moving this to front page.

Warmest regards.

CodeTemplar:
Are you going for farting competition?

Egg and moi-moi(beans) is a killer combo.

Like I explained earlier, I would not allow the moi moi go to waste, so I had to include it on my plate.

Mariangeles:
Okay.
The lighting must be very good in your dining area. Well distributed.

Yeah

Puss360:
Lols . Okay.... It's fine . But personally, i can't eat beans and egg ... Together..

I understand

Jewessgratitud3:

Jewessgratitud3:

Enjoy your three course meal o my brother. Lol

😂😂😂. Thank you o.

Puss360:
Moimoi and egg..lol... People are trying...
All the same, the dish looks so appetizing....
Nice one

Ordinarily, I would not have included the moi moi but because it’s there in the fridge and there seem to be nothing else I will likely eat it with, I had to microwave and add it to the plate.

I have to respond this way because I don’t fully understand what you meant by “People are trying”😂

Mariangeles:
Nice.
iPhone what?

Also, was the picture taken under natural light, artificial light or both?

iPhone X. I snapped the food right on my dining table with little natural light reflection from the living room window.
My dining itself does not have any window through which light comes in from.

Balablue64:
Your fart go smell eh no be here, see de kyn combo wey u dey chop.

Lol. You are not a nice person😂😂😂. I guess you enjoyed you Eba and Vegetable soup?

Mariangeles:
What phone did you use to take the picture?
It did the food real good.

I'm guessing Google pixel.

I use an iPhone.
Thanks for appreciating my food.

I woke up feeling somewhat hungry with no idea of what to eat. Having checked the fridge and kitchen, I decided to make the subject.

It is quite late to say come join me because the food is already digesting. Next time please.

Same here.

NwaAmaikpe:




Could it have been resolved that easily?

Conspiracy theorists who are still owing Mama Kebiratu for the indomie she sold to them on credit will sit in their kiosk-like bedrooms and use borrowed airtime to say what they do not know about what they should really know about.

Inspite of the frenzy, common sense should nurture you not to believe certain things.

I see people rejoicing and I wonder how this news will affect the life of Mama Simbiatu in Obajana whose orifice needs to be tended to.

Bikonu, tell your wife to tell her friend to tell his neighbor to warn his mother that went for August meeting that NwaAmaikpe; the orgasm and heartbreak donor is still alive.

My all time Nairaland favourite is back!😂😂😂
