The allegations of community vigilantes in Anambra State taking oaths with criminals and criminal elements infiltrating the vigilante service has not only made the war against criminalities in the hinterlands unsuccessful but has also made the bushes and forests a safe heaven for criminals who have their camps in such places.

“The citizens can do this by giving confidential and actionable intelligence information about criminals, criminal activities and unpatriotic engagements to security agencies especially NSCDC officials, “Otoibhi said on Friday.
