A REPENTED former robbery kingpin, who terrorised the South West in
the 1990s and now leading a prison ministry, Omokenwa a.k.a. Shina
Rambo, is leading a power crusade to rid the Lagos Island of criminals
and miscreants who daily make life unbearable for people in the central
business district of the commercial capital of country.
A statement by the pastor in charge of the Lagos branch of Word of
Life Bible Church, Lagos, Pastor Segun Braimoh, said the Lagos Island
Power Crusade with the theme: “Divine Visitation”, is scheduled for
August 2-4, 2012 and it will hold at the popular Oluwole Park, a
reclaimed area of Lagos erstwhile regarded as the centre for forging all
kinds of documents.
According to Braimoh, Evangelist Shina Rambo, whose real name is
Omokenwa, has agreed to share his testimony of conversion at the
three-day event and preach the undiluted Word of God with a view to
winning the souls of the area boys in Lagos Island for Christ and
enthrone a regime of peace in the area.
Coincidentally, the main preacher at the crusade is a retired
police officer, ASP Udeh Sunday, who at one time was in charge at
Robbery Squad in Lagos and there will be two special prayer sessions for
Lagos State and businesses in the state. He will be joined by the host,
Braimoh, while the TLC Praise Choir will minister.
Braimoh confirmed that the Oba of Lagos plans to send delegates from the palace.
In a telephone conversation yesterday, the former robbery kingpin, who
claimed that his father hailed from Abeokuta, Ogun State, while his
mother was from Sabongida-Ora, Edo State where he was raised and
recruited into criminal activities.
Rambo reminded that after terrorising the South west in 1990s, he
gave himself up to the police, convicted and was released from prison
after serving 11 years at Agodi Prison, Ibadan. According to him, he met
the Lord miraculously through a chance encounter in prison with Prophet
T.O Obadare and since then his life had not remained the same, and had a
prison ministration.
In a recent interview, he advised the Federal Government to tap from
the “wealth of experience of people like us who can decode a lot of
knotty issues as regards how to curb the menace of armed robbery. Some
of those inside the prison are not supposed to be there. By the time
they are out, they become hardened criminals.”
He therefore prayed that God will make things work in this country,
“If He could locate me from the pit of darkness where I sojourned, and
now in Christ, He will deliver the country from bad leaders who make
things difficult for the masses, he added.”
