Here’s the story of “DERICO” and how he was captured by the Bakassi boys.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!
Born as Okwudili Ndiwe, 22yrs old, aka (Derico Nwamama), hailing from Onitsha, Anambra state, he transformed from a pickpocket to a dreaded crime king After DERICO killed Chiejina another hoodlum before Derico rose to prominence, he hailed from Aguleri, Anambra state.
Derico operated mainly from Abuja but only visited the east to unleash terror. After his successful operations he would return to his base with his loot, safe on the laps of power, luxury and comfort.
Derico once used the towns of Ụmụleri, in Anambra as well as Agbor in Delta states as his main hideouts. From there he would send letters threatening the police for killing men of his gang.
He placed a great trust in the charms prepared for him by the native doctors and always boasted of his invincibility; that no man born of woman could kill him.
Deri as was also called, robbed banks, carted away millions of Naira and killed many in the process. He & his sinister gang also robbed luxurious inter-state buses. On Dec. 2000, Derico attacked a 59-seater bus coming from Lagos at the popular Upper Iweka in Onitsha.
After robbing the engers he decided to kill all of them. Only four survived. That was the height of it all. The then Governor of Anambra state; Chinwoke Mbadinuju (Odera), had no solution to the menace of Derico because he was said to be invisible and could not be arrested.
In May 2001, the Anambra State Police Command officially launched “Operation Derico”, a manhunt aimed at capturing the rampaging Derico and his gang at all costs. The police arrested some of Derico’s men, most importantly, Amobi, his bike driver but he was still elusive as he kept robbing, killing at will and kidnapping people for a ransom.
With the failure of Police and other security forces to capture Derico Nwamama, Governor Mbadinuju brought in BAKASSI BOYS. In June 2001, Derico attacked a Police station to acquire weapons for a bank robbery in Asaba.
He also began to work with other gangs to execute more daring robberies.
A certain morning the well prepared Nigerian Police and the Bakassi Boys turned the heat up on him. They stormed his Abuja residence unannounced and raided it, he escaped, but two of his trusted warriors were killed in the operation.
Desperate, Derico chose a nomadic way of living as he sensed that his life was in a serious danger with the Bakassi Boys involvement.

Beats me why the stupid genius picked a moniker like that and on a platform like this, in 2006, 5 yrs after a notorious criminal was executed and it made national headlines.


Your choice of a role model sucks, try anini or shina, even hitler. Then go ahead and name your first son osama, second son Rico strong and your daughters Nadia Ali and Leyton Benton so we would clap for you


Ewu!
