According to UUU, the move is to enhance safety for all, especially during these heightened periods of social unrest and economic insecurity around the country.

In a letter dated 18th December, 2020 and addressed to the Chairman Ubulu-Uku Vigilante Group, Chief James Adoh, they expressed serious concern for the need for a safe Ubulu Uku.

The letter was jointly signed by the President  of UUU USA INC. Association, Mr Michael Eboka; General Secretary, Mike Ejogo and two members of the committee: Hon. Solomon Ojeah and Mr. John Azu.

Part of the letter read; “on behalf of the UUU Executives and members of Ubulu-Uku USA (UUU) Association, we wish to express our sincere congratulations and a vote of thanks for all the efforts and accomplishments of the Ubulu-Uku Vigilante Group in keeping our community safe” .

“In recognition of these facts, the UUU Association members came together and contributed some funds to support the ongoing security community policing effort of the Ubulu-Uku Vigilante group so that they can continue to keep our community safe for all, especially during these heightened periods of social unrest and economic insecurity around the country”.
