Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has proscribed local community vigilante groups and replaced them with an umbrella outfit known as Kaduna State Vigilance Service (KADVS).

El-Rufai, represented by his deputy, Barnabas Bala Yusuf, said, “The law has no space for vigilante bodies like  the Kato da Gora, Civilian JTF, CESSCUR, Neighbourhood Watch, Vigilante Group of Nigeria, Extreme Security, Jarumai da Gora, Yan Committee, Ujumeme, Yan Tuba and others. Government has advised the Nigeria Police and other security agencies to arrest and prosecute any person operating under any of these bodies.” 

The governor said, “This government is committed to stopping the hoodlums and miscreants that menace our urban centres and the bandits that threaten peace and harmony in our rural communities… This service is established by law as the only state government-owned and recognized security body.”
