I was surprised when we were invited by the police asking if we knew anything about the ‘Gallant Vigilante, Makoko Division’. We’ll hunt down the illegal vigilance group –Vigilante Group of NigeriaReacting to the viral picture of the arm-bearing Northern youth in Makoko vigilante vest, the commander of Area F of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN) in Yaba Local Council Development Area, Mr Israel Omisore, said his command had no connection with the group sighted in Lekki. This, he said, differentiates his group from the arm-bearing Gallant Vigilante group in the viral picture on the social media whose uniform is sleeveless blue jacket. There is nothing like Gallant Vigilante, Makoko Division because Makoko and other districts fall under my purview. I wrote letters to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police and the Department of State Security Service at that time.
