Speaking to newsmen on the issue at vicinity of their late Grand Commander, in Mariga, the Vice Chairman of the group, Tanko Maiyaki, stated that the group suffered the lost of six members due to lack of sophisticated weapons to fight back. Looking so sad and devastated, one of the sons of deceased Commander, who was also one of those that took part in the gun fire exchange, Sunusi Aliyu, lamented at the lack of concern by government for the welfare of Vigilante members in the state.
” We got a distress called of bandits attacks and rushed there, only to lose six of our members including my father. Nothing has been done by the government, ideally the education of the children of the deceased ought to have been taken care of by Niger State Government, Mariga and Rafi Local governments where we got a distress call.”
