Residents of Chafuyi village in Apo area of FCT, have commended the just-organised vigilante group in the community over their resilient spirit towards the actualisation of ensuring total peace and absolute security of lives and properties.
In a chat with the group’s, chairman, Mr. Uzodinma Ojo said that before now, Chafuyi village use to be a den for criminals and hoodlums where illicit acts were being carried out, but now, the reverse is the case.
“Residents of the community said that they can now go to sleep with their two eyes closed”, Ojo used the opportunity to call on residents, who returned home at wee hours to desist from it “and try to return home on or before 12 midnight and if anyone defaults, they will either be arrested or fined”.
The residents also said that since the inception of the vigilante group in the community, the rate of crime had drastically reduced to the barest minimum.
Ojo urged the vigilante officers to continue to be well behaved and adhere to the stipulated rules and regulations of the group and not to allow themselves to be used as tools in committing crime in the community.
