Amotekun is a regional neighborhood watch.
Our present laws permits that .
If not hisbah police in the North west states will not be constitutional. Hisbah exists because it is there to watch that the neighborhood religious sharia codes are enforced.

Amotekun will enforce security codes of the yoruba regional neighborhood.

Until the federal government rolls into the NPF it has no legitimacy. Unless it is rolled into NPF special constable program it will have a hard time in court. The state governors even acknowledged that themselves. They say Amotekun is unarmed for that reason.

Honestly none of these state security agencies are legal in my opinion. The constitution is pretty clear on it. The federal government chose to ignore beforehand. Sec 214 (1) of the constitution says no other police force can be established. The question is what defines a police force. I think item 68 of exclusive list would give the FG the win in court. 

Constitution exclusive list:

2. Arms, ammunition and explosives. 
45. Police and other government security services established by law. 
48. Prisons
68. Any matter incidental or supplementary to any matter mentioned elsewhere in this list. 

Section 214. (1) There shall be a police force for Nigeria, which shall be known as the Nigeria Police Force, and subject to the provisions of this section no other police force shall be established for the Federation or any part thereof.


Responding to a question, the highly-placed source who is a key strategist behind Operation Amotekun, added:

“The governors are not creating a State Police. Section 49 of the Nigeria Police Act has provided a window for the emergence of Operation Amotekun. The same provision is amplified by Sections 50 and 51.

“Section 49 deals with Special Constabulary in an emergency situation like this. The truth is that this Operation Amotekun was designed and conceived to complement the Nigeria Police.

This is the double standards that exist in Nigeria.
I dare anyone especially those who are saying Amotekun is not legal, or constitutional to show me which part of the Arewa constitution of Nigeria that was amended to accommodate the borono vigilante?

Mr Malami and his cabal members over to you

On the contrary your understanding of the issue is lean. Personal, ethnic or political views are different from legal position.

It's the court that decides the legal position on matters of this nature not individuals views.
You and mr malami can head to court on Amotekun.
Can you show us the constitutional review that the NW senators secured before hisbah police and civilan JTF were operationnalize in the NW and NE.
Is hisbah not operating though out the NW, is hisbah not a regional policing agency?


Hisbah is not a regional force. It's independent of each state. There names are different (Kano state Hisbah board, Jigawa State Hisbah etc). Also a Hisbah vigilante from Kano have zero powers in Jigawa state.

they are the one in government, the have refused to protect us from their militia group killing us and taking our lands , yet they have the mind to send all their jobless youth to south west for okada business burning LGA office and constituting nuisance in our cities, now that we are trying to do something to stop the killing of our people, buhari government is holding our hand for his people to continue killing us.
whereas in the kano, kastina and nasarawa he allowed hisbah the Islamic police to operate, but declared Amotekun illegal

If they successfully shut down amotekun believe me it will rise again in the future and then they will be no going back....if the south should cooperate I'm sure the north will go on their kneels begging...

the north is illiterate, he will sign any document , just give him a pen, even his own death warrant.

Lagos, Osun and Ogun are against it and these are area controlled by Tinubu

Seriously? And you think it will come into existence if it’s the approval if just the three of the six governors? What do you see to the silence of the three governors you mentioned? Don’t you think they are just doing so in order not to hold their words and not term it as anti-party agenda? Can six work together except they agree? This that happened is just to show you that, bunch of the apc members are sycophants, hailing the boss publicly so as not to be in the black book, wailing with their family members in the corner of their room and praying for the fast round up of the administration.

Every thing has a season. The season where the killer herdsman had a free range is coming to a close , they know it ,we know it.
Buhari will not be in power for ever, all the military arms except one in Nigeria being headed by fulanis will not last for ever.
Change is coming.

You are all coming up with different excuses why Amotekun must not stand
Yet no solution to insecurity
Have you people not lost your minds??
Should we keep paying and negotiating with these bandits??
Kaduna paid
Zamfara paid
Katsina paid
FG paid

To hell with you Northern clowns

Very apt and smart answer.

Allow those living in ignorance of forming a regional security not backed by any law.

Amotekun is purely Illegal.

If they need it, let them do the right thing

SW are been mischievous and smart by quarter


If you guys need regional security watch then your senators and representatives should rally others for constitutional review to make inputs and set Amotekun working.


This is a time to know those who really support restructuring. You guys should stop crying as if anybody is intimidating you guys. Malami is only doing his work and the constitution is what he stands on....


Review the same constitution and have Amotekun functioning in full force.

Yeebos and Hausas think Amotekun is Oodua Republic Security service


They are afraid Yoruba might want to secede from Nigeria

that's all the noise is about


Without isuing ultimatums or blowing up pipes , Just one move and the whole regions are running up and down
You see this yoruba people, their hatred for Igbos has no bounds. Have you heard any Igbo man that has condemned Amotekun. Even Nnamdi Kanu is supporting AMOTEKUN. Only Hausas and Myetti Allah have been kicking against it and this one is saying Igbos are scared... Learn to know who your real enemies are bro..
