Emmanuel,
a 25 year-old Nigerian living in Palermo, Italy claims his face was
scarred with a machete by members of the feared Nigerian clan, Black Axe.
Austin Ewosa,32, the head of the Nigerian Black Axe in Italy, a
criminal organisation born as a sort of student fraternity in the 1970s
at the University of Benin City, was among the three Nigerians sentenced to prison on Friday, July 22.
His street name is John Bull and he was
arrested in September 2014, in a local bar in Ballarò. He was accused
of assault, intimidation, criminal association, attempted murder and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Prosecutors in the Sicilian capital of Palermo have revealed a new
alliance between Italian mafia and Nigerian criminal gangs moving in from
Libya.
"Even the Sicilian mafia has to deal with the wave of migration from
Africa," said Leonardo Agueci, Palermo’s deputy chief prosecutor. "The
neighbourhoods under mafia control have changed profoundly in recent
years due to the growing presence of foreigners, especially Nigerians
coming on boats. Among them, there are a small number] of people who
want to transfer their illegal trafficking, linked to prostitution and
drug dealing, to Sicily. And the mafia was quite happy to integrate them
into their criminal business."
On the night of 27 January 2014, Ewosa and his thugs allegedly
dragged a 27-year-old man called Don Emeka down Via del Bosco, not far
from Piazza Ballarò, where they brutally disfigured him with axe and
machete blows. Emeka, like Emmanuel was one of dozens of Ewosa’s victims and
was punished for not having submitted.
According to the prosecutors, some of the Black Axe members, including
Ewosa, and also his victims, arrived in Sicily by boat. Most of them
were temporarily hosted in the immigration camp at Caltanissetta, in the
centre of the island.
Legal and well established Nigerians in Sicily are paying the price for
this new criminal alliance between the gangs and the mafia.
"Many honest
Nigerians live in Palermo," says Osas Egbon, 35, vice-president of
Women of Benin City, an association that tries to take Nigerian
prostitutes off the streets. "They work hard and live in fear. These
families are victims on two fronts. They are victims of both Sicilian
and Nigerian criminality."

@Joy mind your business before Black Axe will change your name from joy to Sadness Axemen are all over the world like I said earlier forgiveness is a Sin mind your business and pursue your dream before axemen will cut your dream short.
Proper NBM orientation doesn't support violence. As an old lord in the movement, I believe in NBM proper proper because for UHURU, those that plays NBM by what is proper,KF go bless them.#dodos
Anon 8:05pm you are a FOOL. Keep on threatening people on a peaceful forum. Hell fire is real. Go and ask your stupid brothers that have killed and now burning in hell. A low life like you comes here to threaten people with death? May God have mercy on your soul; you need prayers.
@Axemen & Chevron Gas and oil obviously the same person. Since forgiveness is a sin. You shall beg for it and it will not come for you.
Some people no wan grow up..
Nice one Anon 12:54am
You are a true LORD

Lets all try to move on in life as there is so much beyond this life.
God help us
