Shina Rambo and his gang once terrorised the peace and tranquility of Nigeria, especially the southern part of the country. In a new interview, the notorious gang leader revealed he is now born again and he is in relationship with God.
Shina Rambo, born Oluwashina Oluwagbemiga resurfaced on Sunday, November 8 when he appeared on Yinka Ayefele’s radio station, Fresh FM in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State.
He revealed that he is now a born again Christian as he no indulges in nefarious and rebellious activities.
He confessed to be the same person whose gang terrorised some parts of the country for years and tormented innocent citizens with attacks, killings and maiming.
As a matter of fact, Rambo said so many people, especially the police, would be surprised to hear that the same man they claimed to have killed on a number of occasions was still alive today.
Claiming that he was now a complete child of God preaching the gospel in prisons and other reform centres, Rambo, who gave 1958 as his year of birth, said he was born as a native of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, but was raised in Benin city.
”My father was a prominent person, and a soldier moving from one part of the country to the other. In my attempt to acquire black power then, I went to a total of 21 places, prominent among which were Minna, Niger state, and later Oro, in present day Kwara.
”I was in one of those places for 91 days in Idanre, Ondo state, where we were mandated to be sucking the milk of a possessed woman’s breast, as our only food and water, so occult powers can transmit to our body.
”At the end of the whole exercise, I possessed a total of 901 power images that can be used to cajole or disappear at a scene of crime and project the image of another person. So, if I was killed at a particular point, I had the powers to resurface in another place in another form”, he said.
He said the moment he accepted Christ, he realized he had no more occult powers as the spirit of God suddenly descended on him directing him to drop all his bad habits and start preaching about God.
Quoting the holy bible copiously throughout the radio programme, Rambo said he had won many souls through his preaching, while a number of churches had also been established.
Rambo stated that the death of his wife and three children on a single day in the hands of those who came to arrest him, but did not meet him, was his worst regret of his former life in crime
