ABUJA — The Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN) has appealed to the Federal Government to provide protective kits and other equipment for its members following the killing of several vigilantes during operations against kidnappers, bandits and other criminal elements across the country.
The group also unveiled its proposed security strategy for the 2027 general elections, saying its grassroots presence would be used to provide early-warning information and support to conventional security agencies.
The Commandant-General and National Chairman of VGN, Otunba James Udoma, disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja while briefing journalists on the group’s strategic security posture ahead of the 2027 elections.
