Chairman of Omerelu Security, Peace and Advisory Committee (OSPAC), Mr Allwell Assor, has described those calling for the disbandment of the local vigilante group as criminals in diaspora and enemies of the community.
Assor said this when he spoke with our source in Omerelu in Ikwerre Local Government Area.
He said no free born of the community would think in that line, going by the ugly experience it witnessed some years back.
According to him, those thinking in that direction are those who the police declared wanted and are still on the run, whose nefarious moves to return to the community have been resisted by the vigilante group
He narrated how the OSPAC in Omerelu has returned peace to the community and cited the massive influx of residents to the community last Christmas as a case study.
“Last year Christmas, Omerelu people returned home in their numbers. Even those abroad came back and drove around in celebration of the good work Governor Wike is doing in the community”, he said.
He noted that the local security outfit was among the best in the state due to the war it has so far waged against the entrance of herdsmen and similar groups.
As a gate way community, he said that they needed more support from companies and public spirited individuals in order to enable them deliver more credibly.
About the comment of an untrained facebook user concerning the outfit, he said such was a handiwork of an attention seeking man, whose identity was questionable.
“We know ourselves. We support each other in the community. We are united. Those calling for any sort of trouble including the disbandment of our OSPAC are not from the community”, he said.
He also called on the police and other security agents to be wary of such callers and pledged to work with the state Government and Ikwerre Local Government Chairman, Samuel Nwanosike, in their quest to rid the state of all forms of crime as well as cultism.
