Earlier during the visit, in a speech delivered by the leader of the group Comrade Ikechukwu Amukali, the mobile vigilance voluntiers described the visit as the beginning of their relationship with the Local Government Council, and the take off of their joint efforts toward ensuring crime free society. Comrade Amukali explained that the group was formed in 2010 with the members spread across the various towns and villages of the Local Government Area.
He said that the aims and objectives of the group included complimenting the efforts of security agents such as the police, Joint Task Force (J.T.F) Local vigilante and the State Security Service (SSS). In other words, Comrade Amukali listed their achievements so far to include their protection of the government and oil companies’ facilities and installations such as the oil wells and pipelines rights of way. “We have also contributed in tracking down criminals in our various communities and domains, though we operate with caution considering the fact that we are yet to be authorized by your office” he pointed out. Comrade Amukali used the forum to appeal to the LG Council Chairman to authorize them for full operation.
He said that their challenges were mobility, security gadjets and weapons as well as logistics for the Day-to-Day running of their affairs adding that if approved and provided, the above would boost the group’s complimentary task in collaboration with the Local Government Council and other security operatives towards prompting the peace and security agenda of the present sate Government.
