The Bakassi Boys being known as a notorious vigilante group in the South-east, have reportedly re-emerged in some parts of Awka, Anambra State.
According to SaharaReporters the development led to panicking in some quarters of the state.
It was gathered according to reports, that the dreaded Bakassi Boys were spotted in two vans, singing and giving warnings to criminals in the state.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Ikenga Tochukwu, when contacted denied having any knowledge of the re-emergence of the vigilante group.
He said, “I received this as information from you. I don’t have any such details before me. Meanwhile, I will make enquires, please.”
But the police spokesman quickly added, “We are ready to work with any stakeholder in security,” when responding to the question as to whether the police would partner with such a group.
Meanwhile, a source said, “The boys came primarily 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.”
