 The Ibaa com­munity in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State, has vowed to tackle suspected kidnap­pers and armed rob­bers over their crim­inal activities in the area.
Consequently, the community has alerted security operatives about the spate of crimes in the area and urged them to assist in curbing the social vices.
In an interview with the spokesman of Ibaa Community, Chief Fyn­man Ohaka, he told Sat­urday Sun that youths in the area had been un­leashing mayhem on the community.
Ohaka said a com­munique was issued re­cently after their general meeting, where a deci­sion was taken to alert security agencies of the intention of the commu­nity and to solicit their support.
According to him, the Ibaa community had forwarded the names of youths suspected to be involved in the nefari­ous activities to secu­rity operatives for assis­tance.
He stated that the community had re­solved to fight kidnap­ping, militancy, rape, pipeline vandalism and other criminal activities with the support of se­curity operatives.
“The presence of mil­itary men in the commu­nity has provided a level of security in the area. The boys have been ter­rorizing the community for a long time due the absence of military men.
“It should be recalled that the cult groups un­leash mayhem in the clan. On January 21, 2014, they killed sev­eral people including the chairman of the Vigilance (group). Mr. Maxwell Orji, which led to the petitioning of the Commander of JTF, Maj-Gen. Emmanuel Atave and the former Commissioner of Po­lice, Rivers State, Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu. “It is imperative to note that since the taking over of the community by men of the Joint Task Force (JTF), the hoodlums had relocated to our neigh­bouring communities, and the security opera­tives are not relenting in fishing them out any­where they ran to.”
