A man, who filed a complaint of attempted murder against a vigilante group, the Onelga Security Peace and Advisory Council, in the Rumuolumeni community, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, has accused the police of compromise and alleged that the case was transferred to the Zone 16, Bayelsa State, to pervert the cause of justice.
The victim, Clifford Woko, was in January allegedly beaten to a pulp by personnel of the security outfit after he failed to pay a fee termed: ‘Marching Ground’, for a parcel of land, prompting him to report the matter to the police.
