Vandals Boast, Say ‘govt Cannot Stop Us, We’ll Match Them Gun For Gun by Marvellouzkk(f): 6:53pm On Mar 12, 2016 |
By Emma Nnadozie, Crime Editor
The success recorded by security agents
recently, over the abduction of three students
at Ikorodu Lagos, has sent shock waves
amongst different gangs that hibernate the
creeks around Arepo, Ikorodu and Mosimi
areas . Security sources hinted that while the
most dreaded ones amongst the numerous
gangs that litter the creeks are nursing the
wound inflicted by the easy rescue of the
students which they see as an affront that
has punctured their invisibility, others believe
that the time was up for them to relocate
based on the tactic used by security agents in
tracking the abductors.
Anger over non-payment of ransom
Worse still, the fact that the anticipated
ransom did not eventually materialize is said
to have pained their ring leaders who normally
benefit from the proceeds, whether they
participated in the operation or not. A source
close to the vandals intimated Crime Guard
that the vandals doubted claims by the police
that they have rescued the girls and arrested
some of their members until the last minute
after the suspects were paraded. This,
according to the sources, sparked off serious
disagreement amongst the leaders as they
kept on blaming each other for the loop hole
that made it possible for security agents to
demystify them. This is because, all along,
they have been claiming that their abode in
the creeks is a no-go area and highly
impenetrable by any force.
Shocker by security agents
But this time, a combined force of the police,
DSS and the military were able to penetrate
into one of their main bases inside the creeks
and that was how they succeeded in arresting
the first suspect, Arigidi, who then led them to
expose others leading to the release of the
abducted girls.
So far, it was gathered that the arrest of
some of their gang members caused
commotion in the creeks to the extent that
there was fierce infighting amongst their
leaders. This has resulted in mass desertion
of members from the creeks especially, after
the police stated unequivocally that they were
still on the trail of other fleeing members of
the 12-man gang that kidnapped the students.
Crime Guard learnt that members of one of
the most notorious gangs which belongs to
General Osy have, however, vowed never to
move an inch from their camp. They had
earlier in a telephone call made to Vanguard
denied complicity in the abduction but the
revelation from one of the arrested suspects
proved otherwise.
The call from the Creeks
At exactly 2.30pm, after Saturday Vanguard
hit the streets with a bold, incisive story
captioned,’Abductors of Lagos Students
behind past killings of security operatives,
bank robberies’, a call came from the creeks.
The caller who identified himself as ‘De Don’
spoke with cautious optimism but bared his
mind in unmistakable terms over the vexatious
issue of vandalism and militancy in Nigeria.
The conversation with our Crime Editor ran
thus;
De Don: Mr. Emma, this story you wrote today
saying that General Osy’s gang are
responsible for the kidnap of these Ikorodu
girls, why did you do that?
Editor : Its from our investigation. Who are
you?
De Don: I am De Don, a vandal. I am speaking
from the creeks, inside the forest.
Editor : What! Are you proud of being a vandal?
De Don: Yes, very proud. Why did you say we
did it? We do not kidnap or abduct people.
What we do is to reap from our natural
resources, that is our oil. We belong to
General Osy militant group. You people are
fond of attributing all sorts of criminality to
us. This is wrong.
Editor : But you know that vandalism is a
crime. Why do you people abduct, kill and
maim innocent citizens of this country
including security agents?
De Don: What do you expect from us, after
suffering to go to school, no job, poverty
everywhere? Yet, few individuals are
benefiting from our natural resources. This is
the crux of the matter. We are poverty-
stricken and members of our families are
suffering. Most of us here, inside the
mosquitoe-infested creeks are graduates that
passed out with flying colours yet, nothing to
show for it. Every time, they say Niger Delta
militants, are we not the g ooze that lay the
golden egg? Yet, we are dying.
Editor : Is that enough for you people to be
killing Nigerians and terrorizing all of us?
De Don: We don’t kill deliberately. But, if you
block our way, we will not have any option
and nobody, including security agents, can
stop us from engaging in vandalism (shouts of
yessooo, yessoo in the background). We do
not kill unless you confront us. All I am saying
is that we did not kidnap those girls as you
wrote in your paper which we bought but we
are vandals and we must continue with our
trade and government cannot stop us. We can
match them money for money, gun for gun. I
am warning you to be careful with what you
write because we can easily fish you out.
Editor : That will not stop others from writing.
De Don: We know but we can use you to show
example to others that tell lies against us.
Editor : Let me advise you, you can see my e-
mail in the publication. You are at liberty to
state your own side of the story and tell the
world why you do what you are doing. I assure
you we will publish it.
De Don: Are you sure? ( good, that”s better
from voices in the background). Ok, we have
agreed and we are going to do a
comprehensive write-up and send to your
mail. Please, publish our story so that people
will know why we are doing what we are
doing and the way forward. Expect the write-
up on or before Monday next week.
Editor : That’s better. Please include your
photographs.
De Don: Which photograph? Save this my
number as De Don of Vandals in Nigeria. If
you like, give it to security agents, they
cannot do anything. They know where we are
in the creeks but they cannot come there. Till
then. (call ends)[img]By Emma Nnadozie, Crime Editor
