The Onelga Security and Peace Advisory Committee, OSPAC has come under criticism over alleged arrest and detention of innocent individuals in Rumudele community in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The OSPAC is also accused of collecting huge amount of money as bail before releasing suspects from their cell.
One of the victims of the arrest, Luis Alete-Dimkpa said he was among the ten persons arrested by members of OSPAC in a beer palor in his community which they claimed was along East West road.
Alete-Dimkpa said he and other victims were first taken to uncompleted building at Rumuji before moving them to OSPAC barrack at Omoku where they were rough handled and later granted bail with the sum of fifty thousand naira each.
He threatened to take legal action against the onelga Local vigilante outfit over what he described as illegal and unlawful arrest, deformation of character and assault.
When our correspondent contacted the Rivers State Police Command, the Public Relations officer, Nnamdi Omoni denied knowledge of the arrest, detention and illegal bail of the suspects, saying that the suspects were not handed over to the police for proper investigation and possible prosecution.
Meanwhile, OSPAC is yet to react to the allegations as of the time of filing this report.
