Prior to the promulgation of the Anambra State Vigilante Services Law No . 9 of 2000 as published in the Anambra State of Nigeria Official Gazette Vol. 10 dated 4th August, 2000. The Amawbia Community had through the ALL AGE GRADES MEETING of the Town established a security network of able-bodied men to guarantee the security of lives and property in the town. This body had as it Chairman, the late Hon. Tr/Dr. Onuora Chiedozie of Ezimezi Village, Amawbia , which came into being in 1996 with the promulgation of the Anambra State Government Act on Vigilant services in the State. This body metamorphosed into the new Amawbia Vigilante Services. With the demise of late Tr/Dr. Hon. Onuorah Chiedozie, a new Executive body was formed by the Amawbia Town Union with the following person as its principal officers:-
Mr. Matthew Ibekwe – Chairman
Late Vincent Okonkwo – Vice Chairman
Mr. J.R.C Ofodile – Secretary
Mr. Innocent Ijeobi – Assistant Secretary
Dr. F.N. Nwalusi – Treasurer
Mr. J.C. Okonkwo – Ex-Officio member (president – General, ATU)
Mr. Ifeanyi Okoye – Provost
Mr. Reuben Ofor – Member
Late Augustine Ugorji – Financial Secretary
Mr. Paul N. Okpala – Member
The inaugural meeting of this body was hold on the 23rd of September, 2005, after the inauguration of the committee by the President General, Amawbia Town Union on Thursday, 1st September, 2005.
With the above having been accomplished the Amawbia Vigilant Service began attending meetings with other Vigilante outfits from the AWKa -South Zone at the Central Police Station, Awka and the Area Command, Nigeria Police, Amawbia , based on thorough enlightenment on security matters and use of weapons.
In a bid to enlarge and carry security of the community to the grassroots, it was decided that the Amawbia Vigilante groups be divided into Unit to take proper care of the villages and to allow for increase in manpower. With this in mind the following Unit was created:
Umueze Village Unit
Ngene Village Unit
Adabebe Village Unit
Umukabia Village Unit
Ezimezi Village Unit
Enuoji Village Unit
All these Units have their various officers as approved and recognized by the village Development /Welfare Association, also allowed office accommodations within the village community halls.
We solicit the assistance and co -operation of the sons and daughter of the community both at home and in the diaspora to assist and equip us with essential Logistic materials as the State Government cannot do it all alone.
