Daily Post Nigeria


The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, said the U-turn made by legal icon, Mr Femi Falana, justified Federal Government’s stance that the establishment of the operation of “Amotekun” was illegal.

A statement issued on Thursday by Dr Umar Gwandu, Malami’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Relations, reiterated that Nigeria’s constitution does not accommodate formation of regional security architecture.

Falana, human rights lawyer, who earlier asked the governors to ignore Malami, had asked Southwest governors to enact laws on Amotekun.

The statement read: “By asking state governments of the Southwestern Nigeria to “proceed to enact the necessary laws”, in justifying the legality of the establishment and operation of Amotekun, Falana is reaffirming federal government’s stance that the establishment of the operation currently is illegal.

“No amount of effort to hide the truth will work. People can be carried away by sentimental or emotional inclinations, but truth remains apparently palpable.

“The bottom line is that the current Nigerian constitution do not accommodate formation of regional security architecture. This is a fact which is undisputable and undeniable

“Falana is prevaricating and circumlocuting using evasive techniques when he was asked by the media to justify the presence of lacuna within the law which can establish or protect the concept of regionalism in any operation in the country.

“He was unable to supply answer to the question and failed to cite relevant laws that back the argument.

“It is interesting that no matter the situation, truth prevails. This arrangement called Amotekun is not backed by any law neither at the state nor at the federal government level.

“Amotekun, therefore, remains unconstitutional and illegal as already indicated.

“The federal government appreciates that legally minded Nigerians have started to eschew emotions by offering legal comments on the matter as against being carried away by other inclinations.

“The office of the attorney-general of the federation and minister of justice is committed to the rule of law and a constitutional democratic Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

The response came 24 hours after national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, said Amotekun was not a threat to national unity.

Amotekun, a initiative of Southwest Governors, was first declared illegal last Tuesday.

They can't stop it. they will try but never succeed.

They are dreaming

Kikikiiiki

Very very good from his Excellency, President Muhammadu buhari .

I stand with Buhari on this one .

Amotekun Remains Illegal , it won't fly.

Earlier we got a report from cables that the FG and the SW governors have come to a compromise. As usual, Afonjas rejoiced and their calls of "Southern unity" diminish as they mocked Igbos. Mind you a lot of blind Igbos stupidly supported their Amoetukun or whatever thing. Anyway, now this new article just emerge. Let me guess they will return back to "southern unity and know our common enemy" narrative bah.

One thing I do need to say is IDK when Yorubas will learn just writing things on article does not mean it'll change the narrative. Idk when they'll learn that propaganda in this day of age is as the Fulani dude stated "political primitive". Earlier, we all thought they came to a conclusion with the FG at least according to the recently released article only for this article to emerge. SMFH!!

I hope you won't run away like a coward which the yeribas are known for should the python start dancing in south west.

The two facedness & hypocrisy of this evil & satanic government is nauseating.I guess our SW brethren can see that it's not and will never work towards a country with fairness & equity.A fundamental reality remains;
-Has the APC-led regime failed in providing the constitutionally guaranteed security of lives & property? Absolutely yes!

-Does Nigerians have the right to self defense? Yes!

Provide security, govt wont.Lets us protect ourselves-they also said no.Then let's fight for our survival.It's either you fight or be a victim.

Osinbanjo actually came to bury amotekun

Amotekun would constitute nuisance like OPC so it won't fly.

Yorubas want to destroy nigeria just because they tried hijacking buhari government and they failed.


They first tried using Sowore revolution but failed.


Now they want to use amotekun.





Amotekun will never stand.

I know one of them here, whenever he sees Amo he rushes to carry it in his head like Gala. They are yet to understand Afonja is not a guy name rather a way of life that depicts betrayal, wickedness and envy

Why do you want to fight something that is bigger than you ?

True. There’s still too many Igbos that are still blind about those people.

Of course it will stand.

Better Amotekun than individual citizens arming themselves with sophisticated weapons to do battle with Fulani herdsmen.

Which kind country be this sef!

I always tell people"trust a yoruba man at your own peril"


Go to the other thread and see how they are insulting other southern tribes.

To them,they have gotten what they want,no more south unity.

They are even boosting how they have get amutecno without a single shot,how they are suffersticated.



The way they deride other southern shows thing people are not to be trusted.

Why are some guys here so pained because FG, SW Governors and Stakeholders are trying to reach agreement on Amotekum. So it will make una belle sweet if the fight continues between your imaginary enemies (SW and North) are fighting.

AMOTEKUN (OPC, Local Hunters, Rangers, Neighborhood Watch, etc) is here to STAY! Neither SW governors nor FG can stop it.

I will implore my SE brethren especially the youths to sync with SE governors to form Operation Agụ we will support you

Which one is true?

Ikeg1:


True. There’s still too many Igbos that are still blind about those people.

They also forget in a hurry

Every South West state can draft laws to set up Amotekun if the word "Regional" is the problem. As long as they operate in every state, the wishes of those living in the South West will have been met.
