2027: VGN Develops Mechanism to Provide Early Warning to Security Agencies to Forestall Electoral Violence
Linus Aleke in Abuja
The Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN) said it had developed a mechanism to identify violence-prone areas across the federation and transmit the information to intelligence and security agencies to forestall outbreaks of violence before, during and after the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, the Commandant-General and National Chairman of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN), Otunba James Udoma, called on the National Assembly to revisit the VGN Bill, expressing regret that the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari failed to assent to the bill after Parliament had transmitted it to him for assent.
He therefore pledged VGN’s readiness to make the 2027 general elections violence-free through the provision of early-warning information and community support to security agencies.
