“These miscreants you are seeing here were arrested while using force to snatch cell phones, cash and other valuables from innocent people inside the Wunti market.
“They had entered the stadium, venue of the PDP presidential campaign, terrorised the people by snatching cell phones and bags just as they injured many people with the dangerous weapons they held.” Shayi, who is also the Commander of Bauchi State Vigilante and Youth Empowerment Agency, said, “At the end of the rally, they stormed the nearby Wunti market with the intention of robbing the marketers and other people inside the market.”
He added that state vigilance group would collaborate with security agencies to reduce criminal activities in the state and those arrested will be handed over to the police for further investigation and possible prosecution.All rights reserved.
