Bakassi Boys, a vigilante group in the South East, have allegedly returned to some parts of Awka, Anambra State, years after they were disbanded.
However, it was uncertain who invited the dreaded vigilante group but they were seen in two vans, singing and warning criminals in Awka.
A source, who spoke to journalists, said, “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.”
Speaking on the development, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Ikenga Tochukwu, said, “I received this as information from you. I don’t have any such details before me.
“Meanwhile, I will make enquires please.”
Asked whether the police would be ready with such arrangement, Tochukwu said, “We are ready to work with any stakeholder in security.”
