The unrestrained invasion of communities and massacre of
innocent citizens by the Fulani herdsmen across the country is said to be the
reason for the group’s reorganization. Reports suggest that some prominent Igbo
leaders, at their meeting over the weekend, decided on urgent need for the Igbo
nation to organize the people for self-defence against the invasion and killing
of Igbo indigenes by the Fulani herdsmen. The dreaded Bakassi Boys, a violent
vigilante group mobilized to terminate the troubling armed robbery menace in
the south east some years ago, were revealed to have started regrouping to
strengthen other vigilante groups to provide security for local communities and
towns in the south east. Former leaders of the group who are still alive have
been summoned to facilitate the regrouping of the Bakassi Boys and also handle
the recruitment of new members. A source from the long-disbanded vigilante
group revealed that their assignment is mainly to contain the Fulani mafia and
ensure that they no longer cause destruction in any part of Igbo land. He added
that they are fully empowered to respond speedily to attack on any part of Igbo
land by the Fulani mafia, as he called them.
