Amotekun: We don't need to copy, Akwa Ibom is peaceful ― SSA

Akwa Ibom state government has said that it was not necessary to adopt a security outfit recently launched in Southwest Nigeria since the state does not have a similar security situation. The Senior Special Adviser to the governor on Security Matters Captain Iniobong Ekong (retd) who made the assertion yesterday while fielding questions from Vanguard, noted that there is no problem of herdsmen/farmers attack in the state as witnessed in some other parts of the country.

“We don’t need to copy anybody especially since we don’t have the same security situation in those other areas. Akwa Ibom state is peaceful”, he simply responded.

However, it could be recalled that Ekong while reacting to the killing of a farmer in Mkpat Enin local government Council and another in Ukanafun local government area last year by herdsmen had described the killings as unfortunate incidences. “But I must tell you that they are not anywhere near those things that they are calling herders/farmers invasion. In interpersonal issues you cannot rule out aggression. But we are cautious to prevent a misinterpretation, and we are conscious to ensure that we don’t allow a situation where it becomes a people against a people”, Ekong had said.


Similarly reacting to Amotekun security outfit, the state Commissioner for Information Mr Charles Udoh simply said, “Akwa Ibom state government does not disclose its plans on security matters in the media space. “It is not a question of whether Akwa Ibom will adopt similar security outfit or not, what is important is to note the fact that Akwa Ibom state is safe and you are a living witness”

There is nothing to copy Mr.

They already have existing security structure and is working for them.

Well better do something cause your police outfits in the state capital are unprofessional and useless.

Thrice last year, my neighborhood was robbed by youths armed with cutlass and guns.

Insecurity is rife in Ikpa road, itu road, ikot ekpene road, urua ekpa, nelson, so better watch what you're saying.

It’s not a must for all region to tread the same path!

Not surprised though coming from a South South State..

Politically they are naive
That's why Jonathan with all the power at his disposal was humiliated out of Abuja..

It's not only about being peaceful my southern brethrens....
It's about Nigerias slow sojourn to regionalism and restructuring

Nothing like that and it is not leading to any regionalism or restructuring.

As far they have what is working for them, there is no need for another unless it will lead to law of diminishing return.


Let each state sustain their security measures. Everybody mustn't do same thing.

It's been two years since NBS releases any crime statistics. Their states were always lacking since the never broke it down by per capita averages. They should update the public asap.

I agree there's no need for akwa Ibom to worry about regional security. They should just make sure the state is safe.
