As controversy continues to trail the formation of a security outfit to tackle rising threats in the Southwest, a northern group has thrown its weight behind the group, known as Amotekun.

The National President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, said in an interview with Vanguard that they were in full support of Amotekun given the rising wave of insecurity and violence across the country in recent times.

Shettima said that rather than dismissing Amotekun as illegal and vilifying the Southwest governors for their ingenuity in setting up the security outfit, the federal government should team up with the governors and ensure the workability of the new outfit.

“Shettima said: I am a strong supporter of community policing given the state of insecurity in Nigeria particularly in the northern part of the country and I believe that Amotekun is a right step in the right direction which should be supported by all well-meaning Nigerians.

“As far as I am concerned the North should get ready to start its own version of Amotekun in order to be able to tackle the rising wave of insecurity in the region. It is only when one is alive that there could be governance.
“The situation is clear and simple: If the state cannot protect and defend its citizens the people must find a way to protect themselves,” the youth leader contended.

Is Hisbah not Northern Amotekun?

Amotekun has brought sense to some people

Every region must have their own Amotekun! NC region also had a meeting on community policing today.

This is coming from an enlightened northern youth leader and not d jegudujeras.

Ok

ghettokid1:

Hisbah is more like Islamic police.

Every State or region can have it's own Amotekun as long as the Amotekites won't stray or wander into another territory

thats the spirit of a true Nigerian. every community sud compliment the police

Na now their day break.

I blame Channels TV for beaming their camera before that inconsequential herder to start spewing rubbish on the Amotekun issue.

I score them low on this one.

Hehehe! Good everyone including the "Oct-1 Quit Notice" issuing Arewa Youth also acknowledged that the present government under Buhari have failed woefully as far as,security is concerned.

We have our own amotekun here is south east. Look at the logo below

Yeah as long as you can pay for it by yourselves not by FG.

"I'm inferring that a westerner travelling to the North stands a higher chance of being a victim of violence away from home given the varying levels of security infrastructure. The northerners are likely to get angry and either protest against the movement (seeing it as an evidence of prejudice) and if they don't succeed, start their own prejudiced campaign against the Westerners. I'm honestly finding it hard to see how this is not propaganda at play. It's a legitimate move, but not a wise one."

My analysis of the Amotekun development in a text to a friend a while back. Funny how history is playing out and only time will tell the true plans of the cabals.

We should be tackling the insecurity issue scientifically.

What areas of the western region have been affected by the herdsmen crisis?

What are their common targets and motive?

Do their targets have any criminal record that could've possibly transformed honest farmers into blood-thirsty vigilantes?

The herdsmen and Amotekun are part of a larger game the cabals are playing and it's high time tax payers started seeing things for what they are.

These are questions we should be answering, not wasting tax payers money on the Amotekun propaganda.

Hahahah I warned that Buhari will turn Nigeria to another Somalia where Warlords and local militias control different regions with a very weak central govt holed up in the capital and we are there ..God punish anyone that voted this man

Good to see a northerner in full support of the Amotekun security network. What a tinubu cannot do, a northerner has done it better.






Tinubu on Amotekun!

Na them sabi.

they already have Hisbah and civilian JTF, all paid through our national treasury

And so?

You already have sharia police harrasing southerners selling bear in kano, why the fvck are you making noise again? But seriously what will a southerner be doing in the north at this time when it's obvious trouble is looming. Except maybe na all these igbo people wey their yansh no dey stay one place

Arewa youth leader is a cow, very senseless lady lifeless yooth

...

Same shiiit just a different Day. Our problem in this country is corruption simple as ABC. But these leaders are running from pillar to post to deceive people. If there's minimal corruption in the police, Armed forces, judiciary and legislature. You'll see the security of life's and property will improve.

If the police, Army and other security Agencies are crippled by corruption, what is AMOTEKUN if I may ask? It's either the Amotekuns are limited to do their jobs by their Bosses or they themselves (Amotekuns) start receiving Bribes due to the hardship. What we need in this country is someone like Gadaffi who's s Tyrant but have the masses at heart or let's adopt china's style of Death penalty to public office holders. The money they steal with impunity makes them very powerful to by anything at the expense of serving few years in jail which is not worth the money they stole. I've not heard about Wadume and Evans if these cases can still linger up till this time it shows one call from Above will render Amotekun powerless even if the North forms their own nothing will change as long as we've leaders who share interests with each other.

Yes ọ, let it be...

We are gradually going our different ways.

lol

Nobody is holding anybody from securing his people.

Everybody should get sense as things stands ,human lives are being wasted daily in Nigeria and our leader is sitting comfortably in Aso Rock sending condolence greetings each now and then ..Buhari has gone weak that he can not wipe out the nonsense in the land . We should be praying to God for a better leader comes 2023

@ emboldened

>Olu Falaye kidnapped by Fulani

His farm burnt down the following year

>Afenifere leader daughter killed by Fulani

>RCCG members kidnapped by Fulani off Lagos Ibadan express way

And many more

And this are just the high profile ones


Don't worry you can open the doors to the criminal elements amongst the Fulani in your region since you are the only smart and prudent people in Nigeria

We can use your lineage to prove that the Cabal are actually the ones behind Amotekun.

I trust my Igbo brothers

Their own will be:

NgadaOdum

Or


NgadaAgu.

One love my Igbo family
