This is very true.. My dad worked a Lebanese construction company that designed a major bridge across the River Benue. The water spirit would steal their materials at night, so the engineer struck a deal with the spirit with his life. He placed it in a bottle and even brought it on site. on the day of commissioning the bridge, the white engineer just fell off the bridge and died

The comrade governor did not buy plantain chips from the young girl.
On his usual routine inspection around the city centre,street traders and street hanwers were on the run,avoiding being arrested,because the governor was against street trading and hawking.
But the little girl stood confused on the next action to take.
The governor walk up to the little girl,and brought out a cheque book from his pocket and issued a cheque of one million naira to the little girl for her schooling.
The governor then threw the plantain chips into the air which onlooker scampered to catch them.
He didn't buy the plantain chips.
I live in Benin city and the event took place in my very eyes.

Test all spirits...

Anini bowed to the royal intervention. In another
letter to the bank which it received on September
24, Anini said: “I am no longer interested in your
N10,000 as I earlier wrote you. I am doing this to
respect the Oba of Benin, following his appeal.”
He copied the letter to the commissioner of
police, the “- + group,” + Group,” the Ugbowo
Unit,” Ikpoba Hill Unit,”“Sakpoba Unit, etc.” And
Anini became the most notorious bandit in the
history of Nigeria, for in August, at the Supreme
Ruling Council’s meeting, the President, Ibrahim
Babangida, had publicly asked the Inspector
General of Police, Etim lnyang: “My Friend, Where
is Anini?”
And the police moved. Plain clothes police officers
combed and mingled with the rural population of
Oroghbo and Evbueisi, Anini’s paternal and
maternal home and villages respectively. The
intention was to pick him if he made the mistake
of going to see his people. Though this did not
yield the required results, the police continued to
mount vigil in his home front believing, perhaps,
that such home coming was a needed
psychological prop for a man under intense
pressure.
But right in Benin, the police instruments of
counterattack appeared quite enormous. They
declared a night curfew, stretching from 10 p.m.
till dawn, and as an incentive, announced a N
10,000 reward for anyone who could give
information leading to the arrest of Anini. The
force also printed wall bills (poster) declaring Anini
wanted.
Mini’s reply was a show of contempt. He derided
the police offer by making one of his own. He
boastfully promised that he would give N30, 000
to whoever could get him arrested. But the police
poster could hardly be seen anywhere in Benin
because ‘Anini is too hot to handle.” -
At the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA Benin,
where some were pasted, Anini reportedly visited
the gatemen and threatened to annihilate them if
he ever saw the poster again. The Poster
vanished within an hour. There were no private
homes in Benin that would readily allow the
poster to be placed on their walls. Even in public
buildings, they were rare, a fact which led to
hundreds of the poster lying unused on the floors
of police headquarters.
What Anini was doing, in effect, was to counter
the police offensive with a reign of terror that had
further swelled the balloon of myths around him.
His various daring attack have overawed the
city’s population. In the resultant reign of fear, his
powers were imagined to be more than human.
This discouraged those who knew about his
whereabouts from squealing on him. Anini
seemed to bask in the infamy that a mention of
his name and, more seriously his presence, gave
rise to in the city. He operated with a panache that
befitted his lawlessness. For instance, he went
about town in the uniform of a police
superintendent and in a show of how much the
symbols of state can be commandeered to
praticalise his criminal impulses, Anini in early
September, seized at gun point a Bendel State
government car with a BDSG registration and
heeded for the Wire Road petrol station. He shot
the station manager in the thigh and made away
with a large sum of money which exact amount
the Attendants said they did not know. Like
Robinhood, Anini threw the money into the air
for the passers-by. Most of the time, he
continued to throw money to the people, saying,
I rob for the masses.”

And true to his word, he was around elsewhere
in the city that day. This time, though, he wasn’t
too lucky. He ran into a full force of the police that
was battle ready. Rather than give fight, he
dashed into the nearby Ekiosa Market where he
mingled with buyers and sellers. The police wary
of wounding or killing innocent citizens could not
shoot and eventually gave up the chase. It was a
close call for the king of the underworld.
Anini’s anthology of violent robberies included the
mid-day attack in Benin City on Ogbogbovmen II,
the Ovie (traditional ruler) of Ughelli, Bendel state’s
second largest oil town. The date was September
1 and the Ovie, who had some business in town,
was seated, bedecked in his royal beads and
other paraphernalia of office, in his Mercedes Benz
200 car, BD I HA, when Anini was said to have
struck. The hapless traditional ruler was dragged
out and subjected to some indignities before he
was made to part with his car. He went back to
his domain in a hired taxi wondering, perhaps,
whether it wasn’t all a dream.
Of all his atrocities, the selective attacks on
policemen stood out as the most remarkable. It
was the popular belief in Benin City that Anini
would kill anything from 50 to 120 policemen
before the end of his crusade against the security
agents. He had told some that the police incurred
his wrath because of a certain business between
him and the police which went sour.
It was all about Kingsley Eweka, whom Anini
fought tooth and nail to free.
Believing with a touch of naivety that once he
bought over the police, Kingsley would be freed,
he was said to have given an undisclosed but
huge sum of money to some officers in the state
police command. Kingsley could not get the
expected freedom as he was later executed. Anini
became livid with rage and swore to kill as many
policemen as suited his fancy.
Police authority denied it, and said they could not
get any details about him.
His address the police had was, ‘’Law
Ovbiudu (the lion-hearted), of No. One
Million, Anywhere Street, within Benin
City, Bendel State!
If the Law’s background was elusive, so also was
his person. In Benin City and its environs, a
thousand and one myths erected an impenetrable
wall around Anini’s personality. He was variously
known to be extra-ordinarily fearless and imbued
with wonderful supernatural powers the like of
which could put their possessor in the class of
the gods. Several people in the city said that Anini
had the supernatural means to vanish into thin air
whenever he liked. They also claimed that the
robber had spiritually-derived bullet-proof body
that allowed him to operate in .the thick of battle
without fear of injury.
It was also generally believed in Benin City that
Anini relied on a mirror of immense magical
powers which he used as a crystal ball. Before he
went on operations, Anini was said to see them
in his mirror and immediately took preemptive
measures to assure his safety. With all these
stories flying around, Anini seemed invincible.
For fear that he would come around and kill them
immediately, no one wanted to talk about him,
except, probably the Oba of Benin, and the police
too were now soliciting the help of the monarch
to get to him. They said it was the “juju- men” of
Benin that were providing him with charms, and
if the Oba would talk to them, Anini would be
history.
The police were saying this because Anini had
become arrogant and once wrote to the manager
of the New Nigeria Bank in one of his show of
terrorist power, that he would visit his bank and
that a sum of N 10,000 should be set aside for
him. The frightened banker sent a save our souls,
SOS, message to the Oba who, in a radio and
television broadcast, appealed to the underworld
King not to do so.
