This comes barely 24 hours after lawmakers of the Ondo State House of Assembly passed the bill into law.

Says outfit will complement police efforts
• Afenifere urges Kwara govt to join
Less than 24 hours after Ondo State House of Assembly passed the state Security Network Bill, Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has signed the bill into law.

Akeredolu, at the brief signing ceremony, which took place at the State Executive Council (SEC) Chambers yesterday, warned against any political colouration of the outfit.

He reiterated that the Amotekun Corps would be complementary and not independent of the operations and efforts of the nation’s security agencies.

“We wish to reiterate that the Amotekun Corps is a child of necessity and was purely borne out of the need to explore other means of securing our forests and protecting all those who do legitimate business within the South-West region.

“For the umpteenth time, the Amotekun Corps is not an independent regional outfit but complementary efforts by the governors of the South-West to engender unity, peace and security.
