Vigilante, Police & STF abated ‘Sara-suka’’ activities By Lami Sadiq, Jos | Published Date Aug 23, 2019 3:42 AM

Combined security measures put in place by the Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN), the Nigerian Police Force and Operation Safe Haven in Jos led to this year’s successful celebration of Sallah devoid of clashes between members of the deadly group, “Sara-suka”. Benue/Plateau Trust had on the eve of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir reported that combined patrols between security agencies and members of the VGN in Jos north local government area of Plateau state had intensified especially around flashpoint areas where hoodlums belonging to the group holds sway.

However, Ado Musa, a Jos based journalist who lives around Unguwan Rogo/Unguwan Rimi, said Jos north had witnessed one of the most peaceful Sallah celebrations as activities of the dreaded gang had been almost non-existent during the period.

Ado explained: “Usually you will find them launching attacks a day or two days after Sallah but this Sallah was different because apart from the advocacy there were proactive measures put in place by the vigilante on Sallah eve, as I witnessed some of the arrests they made in Unguwan Rogo.” Plateau State Welfare Commander of the VGN, Ahmad Mudi told Benue/Plateau that the Sallah celebration was recorded as one of the most peaceful for the people of Jos north and attributed the success to the collaborative efforts of his group and other security agencies. Mudi explained that intelligence gathering through early warning had contributed to the success as hideouts had been raided and hoodlums arrested on the eve of Sallah. On his part, the VGN Commander for Jos North, Sani Kachalla told our correspondent that the strategies put in place by the VGN and security agencies had been successful adding that, “we have not recorded this kind of success in the last five years, there was no Sara-suka activity in Unguwar Rogo, Bulbula, Bauchi road, Konan Shagari, Gangare and other places before, during and after the Sallah.” He said the major challenge however remains the nonexistent of financial support to the vigilante groups who risk their lives to entrench peace in the affected communities. “Sometimes we fuel our vehicles and start patrol from 4pm till the next morning. We go out of our way to ensure that thugs do not terrorise communities, even at the expense of our lives, yet, we don’t get any form of financial support,” he said.

13 Adamawa vigilantes killed in two months
Published

August 16, 2019
The Commander, Adamawa State Branch of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria, Mr Muhammadu Murtala, has said 13 members of the group have been killed and 20 others injured during crime-fighting activities in the past two months.

Murtala said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday in Yola.

Murtala said the victims lost their lives in encounters with criminal elements including Boko Haram fighters.


Boko Haram has had a firm grip in many communities in the North-East for over a decade but federal troops now appear to have decapitated them, although the insurgents still launch occasional attacks.

“We have lost no fewer than 13 members with about 20 of our members injured in the course of fighting crimes across the state.

“The sad thing is that a majority of those killed lost their lives in the course of protecting the lives and property of other Nigerians.

“Nobody is taking care or assisting the families and children of our members who lost their lives,” Murtala lamented.

He added that those who sustained injuries had been left to their fate.

He said the group had contributed immensely to crime prevention in the state, noting that the group had also captured about 200 criminals involved in kidnapping, armed robbery and banditry.

The commander said about 20,000 registered members of the body had been deployed across the 21 Local Government Areas of the state
