WE DEPLOY TRADITIONAL MEANS TO DEFEAT CRIMINALS —VIGILANT GROUP - VANGUARD




SECURITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A TOPICAL ISSUE IN NIGERIA. AND WHILE OUR SECURITY AGENTS FIGHT CRIMES USING PHYSICAL WEAPONS, SOME OF THE CRIMINAL ELEMENTS IN THE SOCIETY RESORT TO THE USE OF DIABOLICAL MEANS TO MAKE THEM INVINCIBLE.

AWARE OF THIS,
THE VIGILANTE GROUP OF NIGERIA, (VGN) HAVE THEREFORE DECIDED TO BEAT THE CRIMINALS IN THEIR GAME BY FIGHTING CRIME THE TRADITIONAL WAY WHICH HAS LED TO THE ARREST OF SEVERAL CRIMINALS.

THIS WAS REVEALED AT A TRAINING ORGANIZED FOR MEMBERS OF THE VGN TO ENHANCE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS ON COMMUNITY POLICING AND COUNTER-TERRORISM, AT THE POLICE TRAINING COLLEGE, IKEJA, LAGOS. ACCORDING TO THE ASSISTANT STATE COMMANDER, VGN, MR. OWOLABI AMUSAT, “VIGILANTE GROUP IN NIGERIA HAS RECORDED GREAT SUCCESSES IN COMBATING CRIMES IN NIGERIA, NOT JUST WITH PHYSICAL ARMS BUT WITH THE USE OF TRADITIONAL METHOD AS PASSED DOWN TO US BY OUR FOREFATHERS. WITH THE USE OF SUCH POWERS, WHEREVER THE POLICE COULD NOT PENETRATE, WE WOULD GO THERE AND FISH OUT THE CRIMINALS. SOMETIMES WHEN THE CRIMINALS SHOT AT OUR BOYS THE BULLETS WOULD NOT PENETRATE AND SOMETIMES WHEN CRIMINALS CAME TO OPERATE, WE WOULD JUST RECITE SOME INCANTATIONS AND THEY WOULD SUCCUMB TO US”. ASIDE FORTIFYING THEMSELVES TO ASSIST THE POLICE IN BRINGING CRIME TO THE BAREST MINIMUM, HE SAID THERE WAS ALSO NEED TO TRAIN MEMBERS ON THE NITTY-GRITTY OF THEIR ASSIGNMENT. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE FOUR-WEEK TRAINING WHICH WAS APPROVED BY THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF POLICE, WAS AIMED AT EQUIPPING MEMBERS ON WHAT THEY WOULD NEED FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNITY POLICING AND COUNTER-TERRORISM.

THE TRAINING ACCORDING TO THE STATE COMMANDANT, VGN, OTUMBA UDOMA , BECAME NECESSARY AS A RESULT OF THE UPSURGE IN CRIME IN NIGERIA. UDOMA, IN HIS REMARK SAID, “IN RECENT TIMES, NIGERIA HAS WITNESSED UPSURGE OF INSECURITY IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. SECURITY CHALLENGES SUCH AS INSURGENCY, KIDNAPPING, RAPING, GRUESOME KILLINGS BY CRIMINALS AND RITUALISTS HAVE BECOME THE ORDER OF THE DAY.

Agric Ministry Introduces New Measures for Fertiliser Allocation

Bauchi State Director in the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Alhaji Mohammed Yusuf, has described as successful the 2013/14 E-Wallet System of fertiliser allocation and distribution in the country. To this end, he said, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture is soon to introduce the National Agricultural Payment Initiative (NAPI) as a boost to the e-wallet system geared to biometrically capture the data of all farmers under the scheme. He attributed the non-implementation of the e-wallet fertiliser allocation this year to change of administration at the central level, and the non-payment of outstanding payment to agro dealers who supply the fertiliser. The director who spoke in an interview with journalists yesterday in Bauchi, said however that the Federal Ministry of Agriculture is doing everything possible to offset the outstanding arrears to the fertiliser suppliers towards making headway in the programme. “There is also this new programme that is coming up, the National Ag

Abraham Lincoln In a speech only two minutes long, Lincoln explained the moral justification for the Civil War in his Gettysburg Address. 3. Winston Churchill In a few short years Churchill transformed himself from a burly, unemployed, failed novelist to a leader of the free world with

Ipebi, the Yoruba tradition shrouded in secrecy

Culture has a way of identifying a people, race or clan. From the North down to the East and South, cultural differences confer a form of identity not in terms of social status but most importantly in terms of origin and ethnicity. Even among the progressive elements, they pride themselves with different beliefs just as they do everything possible to preserve their culture. Its dynamism however offers a sense of pride not only as a distinct tribe on the one side but also as Africans on the other. Traditional rulers are the custodians of African culture and tradition and if you are to be enthroned as an Oba in Yoruba land, you will have to undergo a three-month seclusion in the native shrine. In Yoruba kingship, the royal seclusion otherwise know as Ipebi in Yoruba parlance is the focus in this edition. Right from the day a man is selected as a King, either by the oracle or by the unanimous decision of the Council of chiefs and kingmakers, he assumes total dignity befitting royal
