Bakassi Boys return to the South East
The vigilante group known as Bakassi Boys has returned to the South East years after it’s disbandment. According to Daily Trust, the group was seen going around in Awka in two vans, singing and warning criminals.
“The boys came mainly for alleged cult groups which have taken over Awka town in recent time without any response from the Police. I think they were invited by traders, a source said
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Ikenga Tochukwu, said he was not aware of the development. The PPRO, however, said that the police is ready to work with any stakeholder in security.
A Senior Police Officer, who spoke to DailyTrust on condition of anonymity, said some security men arrived at the state, but failed to confirm if they were sent by the government. The source said, “That is the only thing I can tell you, for now. Let’s see how things work out in the days and weeks to come.” Bakassi Boys have been known to carry out extrajudicial killings.
that is a good things as it will Cub criminals activities in the region………….
This is another security threat, when government failed to discharge her duty
I hope this won’t pose another threat or cause another problem for the people in the state
What to our security architecture this days, something is going wrong somewhere
Government shouldn’t look down on this issue of bakassi boys because if another thing happened the government will regret it
