Emboldened by the huge support from the people of the South West region in particular and across the states of the country in general, the South West governors have moved fast to give legal backing to the regional security outfit, codenamed Operation Amotekun which they launched on January 9 this year.

This is just as the Nigeria military has vowed that it will not allow any individual or group to jeopardize the sovereignty and stability of Nigeria’s territorial integrity. The military told relevant stakeholders to join hands with the armed forces and intelligence agencies to ensure that Nigeria is secured and not to look for other methods likely to negate the national policy and Community Policing approved by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.

Meanwhile, Saturday Vanguard learnt authoritatively that the laws to back up Amotekun are before South West States Houses of Assembly while the lawmakers are already fast tracking the legalisation.

The source also told Saturday Vanguard that irrespective of the position of the Federal government, the Western Nigeria Security Network was already in operation and the South West governors would do everything within their powers to provide adequate security for the people of the zone.

It will be recalled that after the launch of the security out in Ibadan, Oyo state capital, Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami declared it illegal arguing that the outfit was not backed by any known law in the land and that he was not consulted before the outfit was launched.

“Indeed Amotekun is not some unthoughtful fancy of the governors trying to create a nebulous counterforce to the existing security structure as some uninformed would put it. It is largely to enhance and strengthen the subsisting law enforcement agencies as it is already well established in most parts of the North.

This movie go make sense die..... Amotekun is the new BBNaija.

Once SW states govt legalises it, just as some northern states legalised hisbah police.....hmmn.

Shebi malami said its not backed by any law abi, oya na, lets go there.

That's the way to go. Falana made that suggestion earlier by citing how Lagos State set the precedent by passing the Neighbourhood Safety Agency bill legalizing the creation of the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency (LNSA) and Corps (LNSC). The moment that is done there's nothing any detractor can do about it.

Intelligent move, if the SW state can make a law to support the security outfits, I don't FG can override it

This should have come first.

Why place the cart before horse

Isn't it already too late

late ke? Something that can be done in less than 24hrs.

Those bastard up north are now trying to lure South East with Presidency. I am sure South East is laughing at them.

Good move by the SW government. We support it

I stand with Amotekun WNSN. The crying fulanis and terrorists from the North can kill themselves if they don't agree.
Good way to go

Good idea

This is the correct order. The launch was for public awareness and support. Then you get a legal license to operate it and you can then begin staffing and operations.

Wow, this movie is getting interesting.


Waiting for Myetti Allah/Muric....

Waiting for Mallami.....


Waiting for FG.....


Waiting for Tinubu.....


Let me get my pop corn!

Seyi makinde , Fayemi and Akeredolu are the ones fronting these Idea . All other remaining governors are Tinubu puppet .

Watch as Lagos. Osun , and Ogun state assembly drags it on the floor.

Can the SW governors just túsh these guys up?
Their uniforms make them look like Vigilantes at Ugboha Palace, Esan South-East of Edo State.

AMOTEKUN, WHAT IS THE AREWA NORTH AFRAID OF?

The level of apprehension, paranoia, and panic that has gripped the Arewa North since the inauguration of the Yoruba Regional Security Outfit codenamed Operation Amotekun (which is not even going to bear arms) is indicative of something very positive for the non-Caliphate rest of the country.

In the entire southwest, there are state owned vigilante services helping to provide security for the locals. In the East, you have the Forest guards in Enugu, the Homeland Security (not fully operational but has been approved by the police) in Abia and one of the best organized vigilante services in Anambra. Yet, neither the Northern controlled security agencies nor the Attorney General has declared those ones illegal.

Why Amotekun?

Well the answer is not far fetched.

It is not really the Amotekun the Danfodios are scared of. It is the fact that a Southern region was able to find the needed UNITY and COURAGE to look beyond partisanship and other mawkish considerations by setting up a regional security outfit to protect their people from a govt sponsored terrorist group masquerading as cow herders. The Caliphate sees this as a form of defiance on the part of the Yoruba. But even more than this, the Arewa North fears the ripple effect of the success of operation Amotekun and one of those ripple effects is that other regions which have been victims of the murderous indiscretion of the fulani killer herdsmen will follow the Yoruba example by setting up their own regional security. And when this is replicated in most part of the country, you will have Organic Restructuring even without amending the Constitution. This is their biggest fear.

As for Miyetti Allah, their fears are understandable; no thief will be happy that his victim has decided to put measures in place to secure his home.

What the Jukun people of Taraba just did, announcing their own security outfit is what every non-Caliphate part of this forced union needs to do. Don't just stop at showing solidarity to the Yorubas, come out with your own regional security outfit. This is not about the Yoruba as a people. This is about every region in the country making a bold statement that a govt which has refused to protect her citizens has no right to stop them from protecting themselves especially when the killers of these citizens are being protected by the same govt.

There is something the Southeast can learn from Amotekun.

The fact that both the official inauguration of Amotekun and the back and forth verbal gymnastics with the affidavit Attorney General are being handled by the duly elected governors of the SouthWest (most of whom are APC and even in their first term) has a lesson for Ndigbo: YOU CANNOT LIBERATE A PEOPLE WITHOUT BEING IN CHARGE OF THEIR POLITICS. It is your being in charge of their politics that will give you the needed legitimacy, platform as well as the structure to be their savior. As a matter of urgent importance, we must take more interest in the caliber of men and women managing our affairs at home. If we don't, by 2023 which is almost here, this same crop of politicians will still be running our affairs and no amount of social media insult and name calling will change that. When your regional politics is controlled by men who think of their political interests before thinking of your safety, you stand absolutely no chance of being liberated. You can dislike your politicians. But you cannot hate politics itself because it is the key to everything including your liberation. Political power is the number1 controller of all other powers. It is the reason some clown in Abuja can sit in some office and declare a regional security effort illegal. It is also the reason the Yoruba governors who are resisting him haven't been "gifted" with Python dance.

Let d so called north try their luck and see how juju dey work... No b only lightning u go see

The noise this Amotekun has generated, I hope they will have power to achieve the sole aim. If you want to deal with the cow herders, you must use long cane. Anything sabotage, killing, order from presidency and all the bad things originate from there. I can sight 3 star Amotekun there. I hope all these are not for show.

Good one

That's a good one

To hell with buhari and his fulani herdmen brothers

Amotekun is here to stay..


It's only thieves that complain about his neighbors high fence and extra security guards

Tinubu is finalizing his bargaining chip for 2023 presidency.

As usual, the docile Nigerian masses would think these efforts are for them..... Nigeria is a useless entity.

Just the right thing to do! Many cavemen are jittery already, much like the burglar who kicks against the house owner who just changed the padlock of the main door.

Here are President Buhari's Lawyers in the last election petition. Both Yorubas. Why didn't he get dumb Idiotic fulani lawyers so that Atiku can beat stupid and bastard out of him.

By the time Yorubas are done with these useless Fulanis and their dumb patrons, they would realise why out of the first 10 SANs in this country, 7 were Yorubas and none was from the entire North.

If its a matter of Law, Fulanis have already lost thus Amotekun fight. Right of Life is the No. 1 right and Protection of lives is the No. 1 duty of any government. I don't expect a quota SAN like Malami to understand that.

I just fear that this Amotekun will not turn into another bunch of ragtag miscreants.

I fear that this Amotekun won't be a tool for oppressing even the Yoruba people that they're meant to protect.

I fear that it will turn into a legal cult group.

From OPC to Omoluabi boys, isakaba boys and even the eferon boys, most of these groups usually turn against the people they're meant to protect.

That's my only fear.

Excellent! Kudos to South West govs.
Other regions should follow suit.
If Hisbah islamic sharia police in the north, CJTf in the north, and fulani terrorist in north currently moving south are in action, Amotekun will certainly be in action.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Modified:
The quota system members of buhari regime are not even ashamed to mention ''Community Police'' as excuse in their lame and wicked attempt to outlaw Amotekun. What's community policing without security outfits like Amotekun? Internal security as far as community policing is concerned falls exclusively under State and Local govt jurisdictions, not federal govt. This is what's obtained in civilized societies.
No doubt this regime is nothing but a collection bloody incompetent illitrates.
