Nishiki's motives are quite mysterious. He was up to something at the beginning of the series and it hasn't been brought up again. For better or for worse, we're left in the dark though. Like, we don't know if what he was doing was :re related, we don't even know if he's part of their group at all but has a close relationship with them (like Uta and Itori), or what he wanted with Torso. Torso was his real target and after he took residence with Aogiri, Nishiki has seemingly dropped off the map.

Perhaps :re (or just Nishiki) tries to deal with ghouls who cause trouble in the neighborhood swiftly to keep things from escalating. We're kind of all left speculating at the moment.
