Full story of Lawrence anini | Full gist and trial| a nigerian crime story.

This is the full story of Lawrence Anini, a pioneer criminal in Nigerian history.
Lawrence Anini was a notorious Nigerian armed robber and criminal who operated in the 1980s. He was the leader of a gang known as the Anini gang, which terrorized the city of Benin and other parts of Nigeria during that period.
Anini and his gang were notorious for their daring robberies, which they carried out with guns and other weapons. They were also known for their ruthless tactics, which included killing policemen and other security operatives who tried to stop them.
Anini was eventually arrested and brought to justice in 1986, following a massive manhunt by the Nigerian Police Force. He was found guilty of several crimes, including murder, armed robbery, and other related offenses, and was subsequently sentenced to death by hanging.
Anini's case is regarded as one of the most high-profile criminal cases in Nigeria's history, and it is often cited as an example of the dangers of organized crime and the need for effective law enforcement.
The story of Lawrence Anini can be described as one of Nigeria's most brutal, a recurring criminal in history and a pioneer in his right.
Lawrence Anini was received as a criminal with mixed feelings , while some feared him, some loved him.

The man was caught in our neighborhood in Benin City. We had no idea he was there. Three weeks before his capture, members of the Nigerian army would terrorize us as we played football outside. We were in our early teens. They whipped us with kobokos and used tear gas on us. They slapped one of our friends in the ear that he lost his hearing in that ear. We became prisoners. We were even terrorized while walking home from school. All the while, they had intelligence that he was there but instead of arresting him, showed up to terrorize innocent people. It wasn't until a newly installed military governor Iniega issued a warning that they decided to arrest him. Nigeria was and is still a joke. Members of the security forces were working with him. The events that occurred during the Anini saga is playing out right now in Borno State and across the country with herdsmen.

What did we learn; 1) Anini did indeed terrorise Nigeria. 2) Nigerian police was so dysfunctional, that they kept no record of his victims. That’s still happens today. 3) As bad as IBB is, he still demanded the arrest of an armed robber as president. Buhari would just ignore it like a fly on his lips. 4) Nigerian police are better than US police, they arrested him alive, despite knowing he is armed, brutal and dangerous. American 🇺🇸 police would have mutilated his body with over 100 bullets and took selfies with his body, then brag about how they shot him with the guns sideways. 5) Criminals know Nigerians, true capitalist, all that matters is money and profit. Anini stole, gave some to the people and enjoyed the rest. Tinumbu learned that from him, steal people bread and give them back crumbs, they will praise and love him. 6) Money is the root of all evil. You can’t worship God and mammon.

[@idahosacharles3591]

Aninni at that time have spiritual bullet proof and no guns goes inside his body. He also disappeared and reappear. Nigeria police set a trap for him through sex with a fine woman. He was apprehended and those spiritual power failed.

What bandits are terrorists are doing now in Nigeria makes Aminu’s “exploits” so ordinary. Crime at the time of Anini was not “normal”. These days people ( civilians ), Army and police die everyday in the hands of bandits and terrorists and it seems like nothing much had happen. The then head of state Babangida didn’t declare him wanted for up to a year before he was captured , over 10 years now we’re at the mercy of bandits and terrorists no hope. Very unfortunate

Not very detailed, because the reason why he became famous in arm robbery was not explained. He wasn't a Robinhood as describe. The police was corrupt, that lead to the death of his friend Kingsley, so they acted against the police. Because they were winning, the military had to interven. When you fight the authority, you become famous.

[@aoamcmxviii]

It was mentioned that the police was corrupt , they always have been .. so why then was he popular? Anini still remains the only armed robber that publicly distributed money period!

[@idahosacharles3591]

Point of corrections unfortunately he was spiritually very strong. The day he came of Abudu police station he killed several policemen and police shot him several times and guns didn't do him anything. I was an eye witness. ABUDU was disorganized that day and no soul outside. My brother he was powerful criminal. He wear a magic ring in the middle of his fingers. Nigeria police was better than what it is nowadays. Many people requested the services of koko bioko who specializes in arresting dangerous criminal with spiritual powers. We have till today afro who is still alive but quite from robberies longtime and he was given a post to fight against thieves.

Be factual in your report. A lot of what you said here is untrue and unrelated to the case. How did you come about your $2,000 claim at 05:35-05:39? At the mention of money, human integrity (including yours) flies out through the window. Your report is based only on secondary research (just newspaper, and even with nothing from the Observer newspaper of then Bendel State and now Edo State and Delta State?) and one book, do more primary research on the story as there are still millions of firsthand witness living today in Nigeria. Nigeria already had even a vibrant magazines sector then. Good attempt though.
