THE END OF DERICO NWAMAMA :

In December of year 2000, Derico and his gang committed the worst crime known to man till date!

They attacked a 59-seater-Luxurious Bus filled to the brim at the Popular Upper Iweka road.

The bus was about to leave the pack for Lagos. After robbing every single person in the bus,they decided to kill everybody on board! Including women and children,and mercilessly, the devil himself (Derico) gave the order and his men shot all the passengers, execution style and left them for dead! (Only 4 survived the ordeal)!

On Tuesday, July 3, 2001, (If this date is your birthday, then you deserve one bottle of whatever your brand plus one plate of Nkwobi because that was the day Onitsha, and indeed Anambra State was liberated)! On the 3rd of July, 2001, Derico was in a bus going from Agbor to Onitsha, on getting to the Onitsha axis of the Bridge Head, The Dreaded Bakassi Boys stopped the bus.Sensing danger, The Crime Lord Jumped the Window to run away, but before he could make the first after jumping out, the nearest Bakassi member on the scene chopped off his left ear and that was how Derico was captured.And For a man who thought he was above the law and could not be captured, it was funny how he started crying and pleading for his life. He was taken to Borromeo Hospital for treatment because he was bleeding profusely.

He only visits east from time to time to carry out his robbery operations with terror.

And after raining a torrent of bullets and on our ill-equipped Police officers and Civilians, he would speed back to his safe haven,with his loot Safe on the laps of power,Luxury & comfort. 

Before then, the Bakassi Boys had developed a terrible and blood chilling reputation for dealing with suspects and Derico's days were surely numbered from when he was caught. On 9th July 2001, 6days after Derico was captured at the Niger Bridge,the Bakassi Boys did to him what many had earlier predicted.

Chanting war songs,they drove in their convoy around the town and ended at the Ochanja Market Junction along the popular Upper Iweka Road in Onitsha,As their buses came to a halt, shouts of excitement and expectation rented the air. 

Many knew the fate that would befall Derico, so they all trooped to the spot to witness the final judgement on him.He was in obvious pains but no one seemed to care.

Still chanting war songs and egged on by the enchanted crowd, one of the commanders of the Bakassi Boys named Okpompi, addressed the crowd, telling them they were in the state not for politics but to fight crime.

He handed over the microphone to the now trembling Derico who, like a coward, began begging for his life to be spared.

He made feeble attempts at declaring his innocence:

Derico was dragged out from the bus, looking gaunt and severely beaten, a trademark of the vigilante group. 

His body bore cuts and gashes, a testament to what he must have gone through in their hands.

He must also have known that the day of reckoning has come. With the speed of a guillotine, a cutlass handled in the strong arm of one of the Bakassi Boys flew and came down with an unforgiving thud, landing on Derico’s slim neck.

In a flash, Derico was beheaded.
