She said;
“After they collected the money I raised alarm that drew the attention of the vigilante. I didn’t even know that they were around. It was at that point I saw them chasing the criminals and apprehended them close to the roundabout as they tried to escape.”
Confirming the news to newsmen, Hon. Doubiye Alagba, the State Vigilante Service Chairman took the opportunity to dole out some advice to other criminals who torment the premises of Tombia roundabout axis and other parts of the state to change their ways or face full rigors of the law.
He stated;
“I am using this medium to call on members of the public to always be vigilant and security conscious of their environment at all times. It is only by so doing you can quickly notice the presence of criminal elements and avoid being attacked and robbed,”
“We have handed them over to Operation Dou Akpo, a special unit of the Bayelsa State Command of the Nigeria Police force for further investigations and subsequent prosecution.”
