Alhaji
Jimah Asaba A.K.A Jagaban the
chairman, Auchi Vigilante Squad has assured the people of Auchi Sacred Kingdom
that in view of the yuletide and its accompanying activities, preparations have
been put in place to ensure safety of both lives and properties through
effective positioning and drafting of members of the squad.
This
was made known in a broadcast session on Itsemhakhorna, a magazine/on-air
programme from Auchi Polytechnic Radio, where Alhaji Jimah the Daudu of Idanilace Village who doubles as the
chairman of Auchi Vigilante Squad stated in emphatic terms the resolve of his
team to ensure that both people and properties are safe from thieves who take
advantage of this season to relief people off their properties with arms in
hand.
He
informed listeners that it is that time of the year again when all manner of
criminal activities are perpetuated by both petty and hardened criminals who
are out to give Auchi a bad name but however, he believes that if residents of
the cosmopolitan town cooperate and collaborate with the Vigilante, the job of
his squad will become easy. He urged that as soon as one suspects that there is
a criminal activity in or around the vicinity, same must ensure that the
activity is reported by putting a call through directly to him and prompt
action will be taken to nip the problem in the bud.
“Everyone must know that the job of keeping
life and properties safe begins from the individual’s effort. We all must be security
conscious and vigilant. As soon as you observe suspicious activities in your
compound, street, area or even in your neighbour’s compound do well to reach us
on 08074122228 and members of the squad will be deployed to that area as
soon as possible” he said.
Responding
to the issue of boys collecting unauthorized fares from the road currently
being used as a bypass for the bad portion of Igbe road, the chairman expressed
surprise but assured the listeners that he will deploy his members to the area
immediately to make sure the illegal act is stemmed before it degenerates.
Enaholo
has also gathered that the sub-units of the vigilante squad in villages/quarters
of Auchi have announced via the various Mosques that fire crackers are now
outlawed in the Town given that it is difficult to differentiate between
gunshots and the sounds generated by firecrackers. It has also been stated that
anyone caught with and or using firecrackers will be held and handed over to
the Police.
