MrMacinterchi1:


even at that, I don't think it deserves dying oo. They should have given him serving time in jail.

tiredoflife:


Well his case was unlawful used of a service pistol on a civilian
This is robbery in the law

tiredoflife:


What happened to the side chick then? She must have forgotten him or even didn't near the execution site.


He was my father's friend
He died cos of a side chic
Who people owe money
She reported to him.
He took his service pistol
Went there to threaten them
And carried properties of the debtors
The alahaja went to the police
And claimed robbery
Navy denied him
He was killed soon after

This manner of execution should also apply to Yahoo boys and their sympathizers.

I will gladly dance to the sound of their cries as it fills the air. Drink wine from their skulls and use their bones as drumsticks for exorcism.

Meet The Yoruba Demon, Mr Babatunde Folorunsho the first armed robber in Nigeria to be killed in publicly by firing squad.


Babatunde Folorunsho, Ilobo and Oyazimo at the stakes


Mr Babatunde Folorunsho was killed alongside Joseph Ilobo and Williams Alders Oyazimo publicly in Bar Beach, Lagos.

Babatunde Folorunsho was a chronic armed robber and a hardened criminal who threatened the peace and security of Nigerians in the 1970’s with his group of bandits. He reigned almost the same time as the kingpin of Nigerian armed robbers, Ishola Oyenusi also known as Doctor rob and kill.

Babatunde Folorunsho was nicknamed ‘Baba oni lace‘ (Mr. Lace) because of his strong love for lace outfits which he even wore during robbery operations. During his reign, he topped the list of the most wanted criminals in Nigeria.

He was chased and hunted by the Nigerian police and local guards but all to no avail. During this time, crime rate in the country was at its peak in the country as a result of the civil war that had just ended.

Babatunde Folorunsho aka ‘Baba oni lace‘ (Mr. Lace) seemed invincible but unfortunately for him, he was caught by the police during a robbery operation on a fateful day in 1971.

He was charged with robbing one Mr. Alfred Marshall of a car. The whole nation was in jubilation as he was caught by the law.

On the 8th and 13th of April, 1971, Mr Babatunde Folorunsho was tried and found guilty of highway robbery. The judge, James Agboola Ojomo, sentenced him to death by firing squad.

24th of July, 1971. Thousands of Nigerians rushed to the popular Bar Beach in Lagos where the execution of Babatunde Folorunsho, Joseph Ilobo and Williams Alders was to take place. That was the first of its kind in Country.’

There was anxiety and excitement in the crowd as a lorry conveying the robbers landed at the execution ground,Bar Beach.

The robbers were in chains as they walked to the stakes , Mr Babatunde Folorunsho popularly known as ‘Baba oni lace‘ was dressed in lace . Mr Joseph Ilobo didn’t accept fate easily unlike Folorunsho, he protested till his last moment.

At a point execution, Joseph Ilobo looked at the crowd and said, “are all these people here to see me die? Ah! This is a wicked world. I have not committed any crime.” Mr Williams Alders Oyazimo was a sub-lieutenant in the Nigerian Navy. He protested his innocence in tears. He said, “if you search your conscience, you will know that a naval officer of my status will never go in the dead of the night to steal. I’ll die today, innocent of the crime for which I am condemned.”

Military chaplain, Col. Pedro Martins approached the robbers and asked them to pray for forgiveness but he said, “Father, I am innocent. My blood will cleanse my family and my children will prosper.” Oyazimo’s last words touched Nigerians. It was such a pathetic moment.


Williams Alders Oyazimo

According to a source, Mr Williams Alders Oyazimo could have been truly innocent. His execution was likely a result of personal feud with some officers of higher ranks. He and Joseph Ilobo were accused of robbing One Alhaja Taibatu Opene of a loud speaker and record player worth N320. They both pleaded not guilty but were sentenced to death anyway.

However, the words of Oyazimo did not make the executors change their minds. A loud voice let out the command. Joseph Ilobo screamed “Make una go call that Alhaja, make she come see we die”. Then rain of bullets fell on the condemned trio’s bodies. Their lifeless bodies were inspected, untied and then taken away for burial.

The whole of Nigeria celebrated the end of Babatunde Folorunsho aka Baba oni lace but only to welcome more of his kind.

The naval officers case is the one I know so well
He was my father's friend
My dad told me his story
His problem was not robbery but stupidity
He had a side chic who had people owing her money
She reported to him
And he took his service gun and went there to threaten this people
And forcefully took possession of their properties
These people went to the police and accused him of robbery
The Nigerian navy dismissed him after a court Marshal
Since it was an illegal operation
He was sentenced to death
The navy gave him no representation in court
After he was killed
He was promoted
Till date my dad still remembers him
They were very close
