saddled with the responsibility to scoop
intelligence information for onward
dissemination to other security agencies.
“The summit is to create public awaress on
what vigilantes stand for. And further

activities and how to manage and
disseminate intelligence information

the vigilantes in Nigeria in order to correct
the errorneous belief that it is for illiterates
or dropouts,” he said
