He, however confessed that indeed they used to terrorize residents of Luanda in Vihiga County and forcefully stole from them. Most of their operations, he said, were in funerals.
He said they also used to walk with crude weapons such as pangas, clubs and sharp knives.
“Nobody crossed our path unharmed. If we wanted money or something from anyone, we just went and took it by force,” he confessed.

He said they would take anything they wanted from pedestrians and motorists in Luanda.
On the day they were cornered and beaten, thieves had robbed shops in Esamenya shopping centre and after hearing screams, he rushed with his colleagues to find out what was happening.
“We reached there and found three men armed with pangas. In no time, villagers turned on us after suspecting we were thieves,”
“One of them took the panga I was carrying and slashed my mouth. That is how I lost my teeth. One of my friends escaped unhurt but my colleague and I were beaten senseless and I lost unconsciousness,” Olilo told The Nairobian.
They were left for the dead before police arrived at the scene to pick their ‘bodies’ which were taken to the Mbale Hospital Mortuary.
“Police came and picked our ‘bodies.’ When I came to, I realised that my friend had indeed died. The police stopped their vehicle on the way to the hospital and hit me on the head with a gun,” he claimed.
Olilo said that the knock on the head rendered him unconscious again.He woke up at 3am and found himself on top of dead bodies at Mbale Hospital Mortuary.
“I started screaming and the gatekeepers came to see what was happening. They thought that I was a ghost and ran away. They closed the door behind me despite pleading with them that I wasn’t a ghost,” he said.
Olilo said that after two days in the mortuary, one of the guards decided to call a doctor who came and examined him.
“I was admitted to hospital under tight security and was eventually discharged after healing and gaining my strength,” he said.
According to his elder brother, Ibrahim Okutu Opose, they had started Olilo’s burial arrangements, but were happy when they heard he was still alive.
Olilo revealed that after the incident, he decided to give his life to Christ.
“I gave my life to Jesus Christ after realising that what I was doing was wrong. I decided to change for good and secured a job in Luanda town where I used to sell mutura. After two years, I called it quits and started hawking eggs,” Olilo said.
He added, “On a good day, I can make sales of between Sh3,500 and Sh4,000. I am now self-reliant and even taking care of my brothers.”
