“Council noted the efforts of Amotekun. It noted with delight that Amotekun has made efforts and requires the support of the citizenry and residents of the state.

“We must support Amotekun in terms of intelligence gathering for them to operate maximally. The council noted with delight Amotekun’s activities and passed a vote of confidence and gave a pat on the back to Amotekun.”

While stressing that there will be no meaningful development without security of lives and property, Ogojo said the state government has also reinforced the ban on Okada beyond 6pm so as to further tighten the security in the state.


“The ban on OKADA is still in order. The cabinet decided that this ban should be reinforced. OKADA is mostly used to perpetrate crimes. The ban on movement of OKADA beyond 6pm is reinforced.”

The commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of the state, Sir Charles Titiloye said the state executive council has also approved a bill for the rearing and grazing of livestocks in the state.

If the vehicles are meant for fulani herdsmen then I'll say the idea is futile. These guys live and operate more in the bush...purchasing rugged bikes for amotekun will be better cause they can easily maneuver inside the bush with bikes.

You should be buying more amunitions not vehicles all the time, fulanis don't drive cars in the forest and there is a limit these vehicle can go in the forest. What has been the result of the formal ones bought?
