Not yet live
The national member register is being assembled. Until the lookup below is connected, verify a member by calling the National Headquarters on 0803 347 2665 or by contacting the state command that issued the card.
Check a membership number
Every registered member of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria carries a numbered identity card issued by a state command, with a photograph held on the national register.
What a genuine card shows
- A membership number, unique to that member.
- The issuing state command.
- A photograph matching the person presenting it.
- An expiry date that has not passed.
If someone cannot produce a card
They are not a member. No genuine member operates without identification. Do not comply with instructions, do not hand over money or property, and report the incident. If you feel threatened, call the Police on 112.
What this lookup will and will not show
When it goes live the lookup will confirm three things only: that a number is on the register, which command issued it, and whether it is currently valid. It will not return a member’s address, telephone number, photograph or any other personal detail — publishing those would put members at risk and would breach the Nigeria Data Protection Act.
Verification requests are not logged against the member being checked, and checking a number is not treated as a complaint. To make a complaint, use the report form.
Build note
This page is the public face of the national register. Before it can work, the register needs to exist as data — at minimum: membership number, surname, issuing command, status and expiry. Once that exists in a spreadsheet or database, the lookup can be wired to a Vercel serverless function that queries it and returns only the three fields above. Tell me what form the register is in and I will build the endpoint.
