Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Pan Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere has warned governors in the South- West region to stop giving Yoruba people a false sense of security with the planned launch of the South-West security outfit codenamed ‘Operation Amotekun’.

Speaking on the controversy that has trailed the launch of the outfit, especially the claim by the Iba Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland who said the governors are not carrying him along, Afenifere said the governors are only pretending to be doing something about the insecurity in the region.

Yinka Odumakin, the organisation’s National Publicity Secretary said it is surprising that the governors were silent when the Inspector General of Police asked the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) to do joint patrol with the Miyetti Allah cattle breeders who are responsible for the security crisis in the region.

“Amotekun is an attempt to be seen to be doing something about insecurity on the South West but they should not give a false sense of security to our besieged people”.

“They cannot say they have forgotten so soon that when the IGP came to hold security summit in Ibadan, the communique he handed to them asked OPC to do joint patrol with Miyeeti Allah the major source of insecurity in the region.Is OPC involved in any security measure in the North?”

The organisation also faulted reports by some security agencies who said they cannot work with OPC members or local hunters because they are not trained in security matters.

“We have had reports of uniformed agencies saying they cannot work with OPC and hunters because they are not trained. Are they the ones that trained Hisbah, which is Sharia police in the North or Lafia Dole?”

“And our people are still oblivious of the fact that what we face is a state sponsored programme of ensuring that we remain vulnerable and never be in charge of our insecurity? The government defends Miyetti Allah now and then and has refused to disarm them of the illegal AK47s they are wielding all over”.

Afenifere said there is nothing Amotekun can do to the Fulani herdsmen as they are being given special preference by the federal government.

“They have added to that by saying they will allow them to come in to the country without visa. What will Amotekun do against a group that even the regular police dare not touch?”

“Amotekun can deal with fowl thieves and other petty criminals but not these ones on an invading mission and heavily backed. The govenors have tried but what we need is to insist on our autonomy to run our internal affairs. Those who will allow Amotekun to work would have allowed stare police” Afenifere said.

They are right.

This Amotokan will take to their heels when Fulani Herdsmen with Ak-47 appear in their terrain.

Afenifere of a group should shut the hell up, they complained of insecurity in the southwest the SW Governors went to seek help from Buhari, the help wasn't forthcoming the Afenifere called them cowards.

The Governors decided to act by creating a regional police, they are still lamenting, what does Afenifere want again?

Every southerner that still allows buhari to deceive him with religion is an idiot.
, may the consequences of buhari presidency never depart from your life, amen.

Thank you Afenifere. Keep talking into their ears every seconds.

But we've got to take the right and best root at the end anyway. Talking isn't enough.

This one loud ghan

LAFF DON TEAR MY BELLE 4 HERE O

Any arrangements that doesn’t carry the Opc along is a waste of time, those Fulani herdsmen terrorists must be destroyed by a strong hand and the opc is that strong hand of the SW

fact

Afenifebi. What options have you provided ? critising from Jan to Dec

Painful truth

We know it is a mega way to steal at regional level.

We need to restructure and have state police. SW should quit this pretence!

They have no suggestions since the contract of buying the security vehicles was not given to them

Afenifere not really exist in yoruba land they just talk on air and collect money from mugus during elections period

Dis one hit Dem for chest o

Afenifebi is pained because money did not enter their hand

simple

we've had operation burst

SAS in osun and they were effective until they expired what SW governors need is to get a database and introduce technology to crime fighting , hiluxes and joint task force alone won't do


On behalf of other Yorubas , please SHUT UP afenifebi , the subsidiary of PDP's wailing arm

Some yam heads will leave the truth and face igbos concerning this now.

so their newly formed security outfit was created to kill chickens even when Christmas celebrations are over . Cowards

This government should tread carefully, cause what goes around must surely come around. how can someone who is not a citizen of Nigeria come here without visa, this guys want to increase our security problem.

DMerciful:
We need to restructure and have state police. SW should quit this pretence!

And the state police will come from America and Britain?

Coming from their own?

Na waa for them o
