Governor Babjide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos state has explained why the state does not have Amotekun like other South-West states, Newspremises reports.


Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Sanwo-Olu said that Lagos state has over 7,000 neighbourhood watch personnel who are doing exactly the same thing Amotekun operatives are doing.


He added that apart from community policing, the LNSC also engage in border patrol.


In his words;


“So it’s just a name change in the case of Lagos. I appreciate what my colleague governors are doing, and they also appreciate the peculiar nature of Lagos.
“I have got over 7,000 neighbourhood watch personnel in Lagos, who are doing exactly the same thing that we have Amotekun doing.
"They are there at the border post giving us daily monitoring in their localities and feeding it back to the central. They are the ones feeding us with information. But they cannot carry arms and prosecute people.
“The borders that I have in Lagos are outside of the Atlantic Ocean is Ogun state."

Fulani terrorists never get una time, after all no bush to hide there

Let them finish emptying the villages of ibadan/osun then they would come for the "we lagosians" who are villageless

Lagos don't have forest and farmland, a Fulani Herdsmen wouldn't be stupid enough to try any nonsense in a metropolitan city like Lagos when he doesn't want to get lynched

Or is it BRT lane they would herd their Cows,

What Lagos needs is more funding for neighbourhood Watch and more gadgets

If Tinubu doesn't want Amotekun then Osun won't have one of the most equipped Amotekun corp in Southwest

Tinubu have not approved of it yet

That’s because Oyetola is proving to be a man of his own unlike Sanwolu that is tied to Tinubu’s apron.
