In a very shocking interview renowned daredevil robber,
Shina Rambo revealed some of
the evil things he embarked on in his quest
for power, during his reign terror in the
80′s and 90′s. Read below Shina Rambo now Mathew Oluwanifemi was a name
that sent shivers down the spine of people who lived
in the South West of Nigeria and even outside
Nigeria, like Benin Republic and neighborhood, in the
1990’s. He was a hardened criminal, a terror and killer, one
whom men of the security agencies will never forget
in a haste! A man mountain, towering about 6ft 5inch, well built,
dark skinned and sweltering eyes, he carried out his
operations, like a movie, in the broad day light, with
sophisticated weapons, and bullet belts and explosives
strapped roundabout him. He specialized in robbing exotic cars on highways and
banks. Nothing could stop him, not even security
operatives, he was totally invincible. He was Shina
Rambo!He was born in the year 1958 to a military
man who was a bad egg in the service. His father
was from Abeokuta in Ogun state, but his mother was a native of Sabongida–Ora in Edo state. His father had over 18 wives, as was the norm for
soldiers to impregnate virtually every woman they
met where they were posted to.His father used his
military influence to rob innocent citizens, and always
brought huge amount of money home. This used to entice little Shina. He recalls, “I
remembered when I was about 7 years old, my
father came home with a lot of money, foreign
currencies, with blood on it, and they were using
something like a woman’s scarf to wipe it, then I
asked him, is this an animal’s blood, or human blood? But he wouldn’t answer me, they were just drinking,
smoking, and merry making. ”Shina was already indoctrinated into the underworld
by his father at a tender age of 7 without him
knowing it, as he would sit in front of his son, to
dismantle and assemble all sorts of weapons and then
polishing them in preparation for an operation. This
went on for so long till one day, little Shina, entered into his father’s room while he had stepped into the
toilet, and saw a dismembered gun on the floor. He sat down in front of it, and bit by bit, he had
assembled it effortlessly in no time at all. His father
came out of the toilet, and saw his son, with a
loaded gun in his hands. Shina flashed back and said,
“That day my father was so disappointed, that he
wanted to kill me, he grabbed the gun from my hand and shot straight at me, but I miraculously escaped
out of the room.Then he waited for me to be less
alert at night he came to my room with a machete
and tried to behead me, but once again, I escaped,
but the machete caught my left leg. (rolled up his
trouser to show us the large scar, that made everyone sighed in pity). It cut me so deep I thought I was never going to
walk again. That day I knew I had graduated, all that
was left was to pull the trigger, and I was so eager.
Shina Rambo became so notorious in no time, and
was hell bent on succeeding in his career as an
armed robber, that he went through any length to secure spiritual powers for fortification. To the extent of pounding over 27 live new born
babies in the mortar with a pestle, cutting off about
100 human tongues and cooking them to eat, visiting
the spiritual river called river of life in Ogoja, Cross
Rivers State, living in an Iroko tree for days, and
sleeping in the cemetery. He was given a spiritual wife who always followed him
for any operation, she dressed like an Alhaja, people
thought she was human, but she was a spirit, that
was why they never saw her face. He said she was his personal driver, that she could
drive from Nigeria to Cotonou, in the speed of light. Hear him. ”I was involved in so many rituals, that I
can’t start naming them now, I was so powerful, I
went underground, inside trees that looked like a
city, a lot of beautiful houses inside the tree, I had
my own too, I went into a river called River of life in
Ogoja, where a lot of politicians and wealthy men used to come, I had several personalities, I could
change my form whenever I wanted to, that’s why
the police were busy killing innocent people, and
thought they were killing Shina Rambo. The 9 herbalists that gave me that power, I became
stronger than them, one day I went to their shrines,
and killed all of them, so that they don’t reveal my
secrets. I had too many powers; my spiritual wife
could drive any car in this world or out of it, no
police vehicle, or anyone for that matter, could ever chase and catch me during an operation. She was out of this world, and when she had
completed her operation, they took her away from
me. I could give anything to get powers, and the
elders knew, so they also gave me anything I
wanted.I once beheaded hundred men, and gave them
the heads fresh, they were so happy with me that they made me invincible. No matter the kind of bullet you shot at me, it was
just like pure water on my body. I could give
anything to get power, but of all the things I did to
get power, the one that still breaks my heart the
most, is sleeping with my mother. My father is dead
now, but my mother is still alive, and she lives with me she is 85 years old, whenever I set my eyes on
her, I just start crying. I can`t bear it. Shina Rambo was a raging terror, he
was infallibly dangerous, the police dreaded him, both
in Nigeria, and Benin Republic, his place of interest for
business. He would go to police stations, in broad daylight and
kill every policeman there, drive to check points and
open fire on every policeman on duty, he didn’t like
the police at all, and was never afraid of them, he
operated in broad day light armed to the teeth
looking like Johny Rambo, in the popular Sylvester Stalone movie, “First Blood”. He once robbed 40 exotic cars in one day and drove
all of them in a convoy, from Lagos to Cotonou,
unstopped. He was powerful; he was wealthy, and
impenetrable. He was a tin god, apparently belched
from the very arroyo hell, we all dreaded him. He
had a wife and three children, but he lost all of them in one day during a bloody police raid whilst he was
away on operation. His wife was his stabilizing factor his life changed
afterwards. He says “my wife was everything to me, I was forbidden by the elders to sleep with any
other woman apart from her, I could gather about
50 women around me in a hotel, and they will just be
playing with me, we would smoke, drink, and sniff
cocaine, I will give them money but I will never sleep
with them. I will go back home to my wife and sleep with her. That was why the police never caught me.
She knew my job, she knew what I was, I never left
them alone at night, I operated in the day time and
go back home to my family at night. I had everything, I was very wealthy, I once spent 50
million naira in a day. I did it a lot, there was one
day that we were coming from an operation and it
seemed as if my powers were going to fail me, the
police and the army were almost closing in on us, so
we had to drive into a crowd and threw millions of naira in the air, there was commotion,everybody
was busy picking naira notes even the police, until
we escaped. I was too rich, but anything the devil gives you
never lasts, he will collect more from you, it’s only
the devil that will give you Fila, (cap) and ask for Iro
and Buba.(wrapper and top). I lost everything, all the
money, my family; I was so powerful the police
couldn’t catch me but I lost it all.I had to surrender myself to the police, and I was arrested and jailed
for 11 years. When I was serving my jail term in Agodi prisons,
Ibadan, Prophet T.O Obadare came visiting, and having
been encouraged several times by the Christian
brothers and sisters in the prison to give my life to
Christ, he prayed for me and converted me, and
changed my name to Oluwanifemi, and it was so miraculous, the next day I woke up and started
speaking in tongues. It was during the time of
President Olusegun Obasanjo, that we were granted
freedom. At this point, I was glued to my seat, the revival
where Shina Rambo gave this exclusive confession
was on an open ground revival in the ancient city of
Ibadan, right in front of me, on stage, was Evangelist
Mathew Oluwanifemi, the once feared Shina Rambo,
clad in a loose fitting shirt, black pants and a pair of leather sandals with a black Holy Bible in his hands,
gigantic dark skinned and bald headed, still had those
fiery looks, and stealth movement. I was more transfixed than focused, God is indeed
awesome, he picked the offering basket raised it to
the congregation prayed and asked who had
anything to give to God, at first I was reluctant, my
mind was occupied and out of an innate compulsion,
sheer curiosity I stood up, dipped my hand in my pocket walked towards him briskly and calculatedly
brought out my offering, dropped it into the basket,
and looked deep into his eyes, I had too many things
to ask him, there were too many questions
unanswered. He looked back at me, and spoke in Yoruba, saying
God bless you my brother; we know your type when
we see them.The congregation broke into a mild
giggle, as all eyes were on me as I went back to my
seat, with a lot of things on my mind, and the red
light on my midget still blinking, in the chest pocket of my jacket
