'Area Boys' Listed Among The 10 Most Notorious Gangs In The World

According to a new report, the gang called 'Area Boys' ranked at number 10 is one of the world's deadliest and notorious gangs. See what the report says below:


Territory: Lagos, Nigeria

Criminal activities: Drug trafficking, extortion, murder, inciting riots

Number of members: 35,000


Over the past three decades, Nigeria's Area Boys have gone from young kids committing crimes of opportunity to a massive if still largely unorganized street gang responsible for acts of extortion and murder. Local authorities, who have made a number of failed humanitarian attempts to eliminate the gang, tie the rising level of violence to a depressed economy, high unemployment and the increasing prevalence of drug addiction among the gang's members.
