The likes of Alex odagbu who happens to be a family friend, I remember then when he came to my father to vent his frustration about hardship in his family that if he sees gun he will carry, my father warned him to stop such joke and instead be patient with his business as a young man, he went ahead to join, his gang terrorised lagos and ph then in early 94 he was caught 95 and executed, leaving behind his wife, 3 sons and girlfriend, the family even abandoned his properties. I can still remember his handsome face when he was declared wanted in all TV stations,his own case was greed, impatience and poverty.

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.

So u mean derico was never captured

5. Baddo of Ikorodu/ Godogodo

The number 5 position is jointly shared by two notorious criminals who for too long terrorized Lagos state, Baddo and Godogo.
Baddo was infamous for molesting children and women, with robbery as part of the crimes that made him dreaded within Ikorodu.
Godogodo allegedly went for operations with a bag containing 10 fully loaded AK 47 rifles with 30 rounds of ammunition each and as such, he was fully prepared in terms of weapons on his back.
It was gathered that Godogodo used to tell his gang members that he would never be arrested alive and had vowed to go down with as many policemen as possible on the day he is unable to escape arrest. He was so good at disguising his criminal activities that even his wife and family members never knew what he was into. He had six houses in different locations including Lagos, Ogun and Ondo States, and never stayed in a particular location for more than a month.

One extraordinary bandit from Enugu state didn't get a mention here. He is called 'NGWUEGEREOMU' . skilled in the craft of bank robberies and high profile assassinations. I could remember how he killed the much revered IG of police(IG was his nickname) just after Joe continental hotel agbani rd Enugu. him and his squad went on killing spree same day. stray bullets hit 2 people an elderly woman at Ebony paint junction and another IMT student in gariki. I could still make out the woman's face as she lay with a lifeless body. black day indeed.

Mufu oloosa oko is an armed bandit that was terrorizing Ibadan, iwo and osun metropolis. His own type of robbery was carried out because of revenge most especially on the police and soldiers. His father was killed because the father wanted to repair a road at Ibadan n the political parties were against it because of the gain they make in leaving the road untarred. The Father was killed in the police station an asmatic patient.


Then he had a grandma who operates using voodoo to manipulate people (witch). This granny empowered him because police killed her son, which was mufu's father's he was on a killing spree. Dealing with politicians, collects their money n gives it to the community (you can imagine The type of armed robber he z)

When they arrested him, they shot him but he didn't die, so he told them the secret of his power, that his leg must not the ground so his leg was amputed but yet he didn't die. So he told them that they should go to his granny compound that there is a goat tied down that until that goat dies and he eats out of it he will never died.

Police got the goat gave him, and he after eating, he fell down and died.

She started enjoying the lifestyle, from one room to two rooms, new abadas( wrapper) and George, buying rice in bags, coco cola became drinking water in the house, when she had the last child, the husband really pampered her, her only complaint was the husbands infidelity, when the man hunt for the husband started, in fact the day he was arrested, she ran away with her three children, sister and cashless before the police could arrive. The greedy landlord of the house benefits by looting them of all they left behind. The police seized the landed properties. She later went back to the village and remarried.
