Hmmm, but that was not all. Oyenusi in , there was no one bold enough to come forward to act the role of the armed robber because they feared his members would show them shege.
Ugbomah had no other option but to act the role himself with the feature film depicting the senseless violence of armed robberies and the absolutely atrocious manner by which lives of innocent Nigerians were snuffed out. But there was one interesting thing that happened: a medical doctor by the name of Dr.
Oyenusi was so mad at the film producer that he headed for the court trying to stop the shooting of the movie. Actually, Ugbomah was threatened. He received a letter from thieves who invaded and looted his provision store, carting away all they could.
The stubborn Ugbomah called their bluff and went ahead with the 16mm-flick kindly send us a clip of this film if you have one. He is regarded by some as the pioneer of conventional armed robbery in Nigeria. When Oyenusi reigned at the height of his regal confidence, he declared:. They killed a police constable in the process. Although the first public execution of robbers had taken place in April , that of Oyenusi and his criminal allies was a special case and the Lagos government took time to prepare the grounds at the Bar Beach.
A combined team of police officers and soldiers struggled to contain the surging crowd of thousands of excited spectators. At about 9. Obviously, they were there to make fun of a man who had sent so much terror into their hearts.
About half an hour later, eight robbers were led to the execution stand…. While some in the crowd jeered and booed Oyenusi and his Gang of Seven, some of his friends and family members present could not hold back their tears. But for most of the witnesses, it was good riddance to bad nonsense. As for Oyenusi, he was smiling, smiling to the last but the agony on his face too was unmistakable.
But just few minutes before his body was riddled with hot-leaded bullets from stern-faced soldiers of the Nigerian Army, he finally confessed saying:. Two army trucks and a black van conveyed them to the firing spot. Oyenusi was in the black van. The soldiers came to a screeching halt and stood at attention by the van.
All of a sudden, one of them let out a shrill command! The door was flung open and slowly, Oyenusi appeared from within the darkness of the Black Maria. As if the heavens were in concert, dark clouds had formed over the Bar Beach. He was cloaked in a dark long-sleeved shirt and his hands were tied behind his back.
He spotted a pair of dark loafers and his trousers were wrinkled. Post a Comment. One of the member armed robbery gang that shook Lagos three Sundays ago has told why they were ruthless. During the attack, three policemen and three civilians were killed. Members of the gang were paraded yesterday at the state police headquarters, Ikeja by the Commissioner of Police, Umar Manko.
Recovered from the suspects were two buses which had specially fitted compartment for arms and ammunition storage. Found on the buses were two rocket propellers, grenade launchers, five dynamites with a detonator, two general purpose machine guns, nine AK 47 riffles, AK 47 magazines fully loaded, rounds of GPMG live ammunition and 10, rounds of live AK 47 ammunition.
But we hate seeing the police because they are our enemies. Learn lesson from those that we killed that Sunday. She sustained injuries in the course of falling. A young man displayed machete cuts he received because he was trying to save his phone from the attackers. Another young lady abandoned her phone and other items in a commuter bus that was attacked by the boys who took away everything.
It was indeed a sorry sight. The question on the lips of everybody around was where was the police for the almost two hours that the well-co-ordinated robbery was carried out. Some of the robbers even had the temerity to cruise around the crime zone on motorcycles. As the operation wore on, and as if to warn people who might be contemplating repelling the attack, the robbers released a heavy gunshot, which cannot be mistaken for a Christmas banga!
We call on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to come to the aid of people in Ikorodu, especially those around Agric and Ogolonto, and save them from the terror regularly unleashed on them by these armed robbers. We wish to urge the governor to carry out the sacred duty of government in protecting the lives and properties of citizens. These incidents are growing in impunity because the police, after EndSARS, have shied away from their work.
But government needs to prevail on them, as there is no reason why the people should be left at the mercy of criminals. After all, the EndSARS protesters were fighting for an improvement in the society from which the police will also benefit through enhanced salaries, conditions of work and better prestige.
