Boko Haram and the killer Fulaniherdsmen are greater threats to Nigeria's unity, how come ACF hasn't been it fit to give their expert opinions on how to end them or how to make Zamfara and Benue more peaceful?

Mightymanna:
Non of these regional security apparatus will help Nigeria's unity because they are conceived with sinister motives toward some ethnic groups in the country. For those that are shouting HISBAH and civilian JTF in the North are also illegal, they should look at the aforementioned from different perspectives because Hisbah was created by Kano state and civilian JTF by Borno state non of these Security agencies are allowed to use gun or any sophisticated weapons
But amatekun or whatever they call it is a different case because
1.a whole geo-political zone decided to create it
2. They will be allowed to use weapons
3. They are being supported by people of questionable character e.g Nnamdi KANU
4. Other regions might do the same hence the federal police will be useless and conflicts will started based on perceived injustice by people of different ethnicity.


Therefore amatekun or whatever is dead and buried the Northerners will not agree will these sort of security arrangements, if you want secure your region cooperate with the police and army in your respective states, support them with necessary , material and financial support and watch how things will change

Lagos – The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), northern Nigeria’s foremost socio-cultural group, on Thursday said establishing regional security force such as South West security outfit, ‘Operation Amotekun’, may affect Nigeria’s unity and cohesion.

In a statement by Muhammad Ibrahim Biu, its National Publicity Secretary, the body said while it agreed that the military and other security agencies are overstretched owing to security challenges across the country, it is concerned that several tribal organisations set up in the past have been used to harass and intimidate non-indigenes.

The statement reads: “The governors of the South-West states recently inaugurated a regional tribal security outfit known as Operation Amotekun with the sole aim of complementing the efforts of the Nigeria police and other security agencies as announced by Governor Fayemi of Ekiti State during the inauguration. ACF appreciates the concern of the South-West over the insecurity situation in the region and other parts of the country.

“It is evident that the military and other security agencies are overstretched by the security challenges nationwide and all efforts aimed at taming the situation is welcomed. However, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) wishes to caution that in establishing such security outfits, due process must be followed and backed by law.

“The functions of the security outfit must be clearly spelt out and should not be in conflict with the federal law establishing the regular security agencies.

“The fear being expressed by Nigerians over Operation Amotekun or any other tribal security outfit is genuine, considering past experiences where tribal militia recognised by states became intimidating tools to non-indigenes”.

Stating further, ACF said while it is worried that setting up of Amotekun by the South-West governors may have political undertone, Amotekun may have confrontations with the police and other security agencies in the course of its duty and that may negate the purpose for which it is established.

“Presently, we have so many security outfits under the Federal Government, the Nigeria Police, Civil Defence, DSS and other paramilitary organisations all providing security cover to the citizens but seriously overwhelmed. More so, the state governments render logistics and other operational assistance to the federal security agencies at the state levels, while at the same time the states establish and fund vigilante groups and traffic agencies.

“Establishing a regional tribal security outfit like Operation Amotekun, in addition to these is a duplication of effort in our candid opinion. Rather, the states should collaborate with federal authorities to fashion out a constitutional means of providing adequate security to the citizenry. ACF is also apprehensive of the political undertones of setting up such regional security outfits like the Amotekun and its constitutional implications to the rule of law.

“Furthermore, ACF is seriously concerned with likely conflict that may arise in operational jurisdiction between the federal police and Amotekun.

“In view of all these, ACF hereby cautions against establishing regional tribal security forces that may likely affect our unity and national cohesion.
“The Nigerian constitution of 1999 as amended gives the governor of a state the powers to direct a Commissioner of Police (CP) in the state with respect to maintenance and securing of public safety and order within the state, which the CP shall comply.

“This constitutional provision, in addition to the logistics being provided by the state government to the Nigeria Police Force, if properly utilised, will promote a good working relationship between the state government and the police command to handle any security challenge. It is, therefore, the considered opinion of ACF that the disadvantages of having a regional tribal security outfit like Amotekun outweighs the advantages at this material time of our democratic experiment”, the ACF said.

On the declaration of Amotekun as illegal by the Federal Government, Arewa said the South-West governors must go to the court for a legal solution on the issue.

“Now that the Federal Government has declared the Amotekun tribal security illegal, confirmed our earlier appeal that due process must be followed in establishing such security outfits. The only option now left to the South-West governors is to approach the court for a legal solution.”

What do say about Yân bànga, Yàn dàba and even Hisbah that can arrest Police?

US officials say they believe the Ukrainian International Airlines Boeing 737-800 was hit by a missile, CBS says.

Ukraine earlier said it was examining whether a missile strike brought down the aircraft - but Iran ruled this out.

The crash came just hours after Iran carried out missile strikes on two airbases housing US forces in Iraq.

CBS News quoted US intelligence sources as saying a satellite detected infrared "blips" of two missile launches, followed by another blip of an explosion.

Meanwhile, Newsweek quoted a Pentagon and senior US intelligence officials, as well as an Iraqi intelligence official, as saying they believed the Ukrainian plane was hit by a Russian-made Tor missile.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that "I have my suspicions" over the plane. "Somebody could have made a mistake," he said.

Amid tensions heightened by the US killing of top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani on 3 January, Iran has said it will not hand over the recovered black box flight recorders to Boeing, the plane's manufacturer, or to the US.

Under global aviation rules Iran has the right to lead the investigation, but manufacturers are typically involved.

What does US media report?

In separate reports, CBS News and Newsweek said US and Iraqi intelligence officials were confident the Ukrainian plane was brought down by a missile fired by Iran.

CBS published a brief report on Twitter, saying the officials were confident the plane was shot down.

It said this information was based on US intelligence, which sources said picked up signals of a radar being turned on. US satellites also reportedly detected two missile launches shortly before the Ukrainian plane exploded.

Meanwhile, Newsweek quoted US and Iraqi officials as saying they believed the aircraft was hit by a Russia-built Tor M-1 surface-to-air missile system, known as Gauntlet by Nato.

Two Pentagon officials assessed that the incident was accidental, Newsweek added.

It quoted sources as saying that Iran's anti-aircraft systems were probably active following its attacks on the US airbases.
