The police spokesman in the state, DSP Ramhan Nansel, said in a statement on Sunday in Lafia, that that the vigilante complied with the Executive Order 1, 2024, on proscription of ethnic vigilance groups and similar organisations.
DSP Nansel said that the order directed all proscribed groups to hand over all uniforms and other kits in their possessions to the police within two weeks from the day the executive order was issued.
He said that the police received 267 pairs of uniforms, 102 pieces of black belts and 189 pieces of infantry lanyards from the group.
Other items the command received from the group include: 564 black berets, 339 pieces of black and white lanyards and two identification cards.
DSP Nansel quoted the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Umar Nadada, as urging the Eggon Vigilante, Bassa Vigilante and other proscribed groups to comply with the executive order before expiration of the ultimatum.
He said that the police would ensure total enforcement of the order.
