Bakassi Boys Has Resurfaced In The South East (Video)
The vigilante group was sighted in Awka in two vehicles, singing and issuing stern cautions to criminals, according to DailyTrust.
A source told the publication:
“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.”
According to the publication, when the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Ikenga Tochukwu, was contacted he stated that he was unaware of the development. The PPRO, on the other hand, stated that the police are willing to collaborate with any security stakeholder.
