In the 1990s, one name spread fear across South-West Nigeria — Shina Rambo. Born around 1958 in Abeokuta, Ogun State, with the name Olusegun Adeshina Adisa Kuye, Rambo became a legend of crime, violence, and myth.
Operating mainly across Lagos, Ogun, and parts of the South-West, he was linked to armed robbery, cross-border car theft, and violent highway attacks. Witnesses at the time described how his gang stormed highways in convoys, robbing motorists, burning vehicles, and killing policemen.
What made him even more feared was the mystery surrounding him. Many Nigerians believed he relied on charms and ritual practices to make himself “bulletproof.” Stories circulated that human sacrifices were part of his criminal empire, making his name larger than life and almost untouchable.VIDEO: See Moment Church CCTV Captured Man Stealing Phone Inside church In Lagos
By 1992, security forces were closing in, and Shina Rambo suddenly vanished. For years, rumors spread — some said he had been killed, others claimed he escaped to Benin Republic, while many believed his spirit still haunted the roads. His name became folklore, often used by parents to warn their children and by drivers who whispered about his attacks.VIDEO: Pastor’s Daughter’s Viral S*x Tape Leaves Internet in Shock, Watch!
In a dramatic twist, decades later, a man who identified himself as the real Shina Rambo resurfaced. In 2020, he granted interviews, declaring that he had repented, found Christ, and become a pastor. He claimed his old life of crime was behind him and that he was now preaching the gospel.
Despite debates and doubts about his true identity, the story of Shina Rambo remains one of Nigeria’s most shocking crime histories. From a feared armed robber of the 1990s to a self-proclaimed preacher, his name continues to echo as a reminder of how crime, myth, and redemption can intertwine in Nigeria’s history.
