Mystery Security Outfit Kills Six In Anambra

A new security outfit deployed in Anambra to crush cultists and
other criminals has allegedly killed six suspects.

The unnamed outfit arrived in Awka, the state capital, on
Saturday, and is likened in style to Bakassi Boys, an unorthodox
group known for jungle justice in the state over two decades
ago.

The first six victims were burnt on Monday.

No one seems to know who sent them or how they are to approach
their duty, but they are not policemen.

Police spokesman Ikenga Tochukwu said he had no information on
them, but a senior officer confirmed that they arrived on
Saturday.

The officer provided no further information.

“That’s the only thing I can tell you for now, let’s see how
things work out in days and weeks to come,” he said.

“If they engage in jungle justice, nobody will talk, especially
the lawyers and human rights groups, but when police engage in
such, the whole world will tumble and that’s what the state
deserves at this moment, ” the source said.

Awka has been terrorised by cultists without much resistance
from police.
