This should have come first.

Why place the cart before horse

Isn't it already too late

BabaRamota1980:
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.

WalkerMichael:
Good move.

Red pickup.

You sure say no be Amotekun motor you dey sell so?

GeoAfrikana:
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.

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

ZombieTERROR:
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.

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.

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

emeijeh:
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.
