The Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum has asked South-West governors to ignore the statement by Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr Abubakar Malami, declaring Amotekun, the South-West security

outfit illegal.

The forum admonished the governors to challenge the AGF’s stance in court, insisting that the right to preserve life cannot be under any exclusive list “other than the list of those who have no value for human lives.” The SMBLF comprising various ethnic socio-cultural groups such as Afenifere, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Middle Belt Forum, and Pan Niger Delta Forum argued that Malami’s declaration was in furtherance of “the widely – held suspicion that sections of the country are deliberately being rendered vulnerable for herdsmen and other criminals by the Federal Government.”

“We insist that what the governors have done is what individuals and neighbourhoods can legally do to secure their lives and property.

The aftermath won't be good

Yes oooo

How is it illegal lets dem explain

yes ,it can't be illegal

Amotekun can never be illegal since banditry, kidnapping and robbery is not illegal, you poeple should stop running you mouth any how about Amotekun, Kudos to all the governors of six Yoruba state

These ones lunch only six security trucks take the pictures like na over 1m trucks dey there...

Biko tell dt rogue! Der s no monopoly of such in naija..wat s gud for d goose is good for d gander!

edjohn78178 Them never see anything. I’m loving this series. Amotrkun Hisbah.

I am now more convinced than ever that there was a dastardly plan a-foot that creating Amotekun foiled.

Amotekun must work or else war because is about insecurity

..just that MalamiSan has almost gone off head for talking jargons! if Amotekun must be illegal 'cos security should be from FG then it should be illegal to provide water,.electric,. employ security for myself,. should jut wait on FG

Las las Yoruba people will see that Igbo are not there enemy again... The really enemy is there political class who are selling them out to their killers....

Hi and discuss with no.2?

So sad , Yoruba political leaders are sell out... North will never value west cos they know Yoruba leaders don't care about Yoruba people, they are after acquiring more wealth.

He cannot usurp the powers of a law court. Only a court of law can determine the legality or otherwise of the security outfit or is the AGF a law court now? As if Malami had amnesia,when a couple of weeks back, a policeman was arrested by Hisbah in a hotel room with three girls.

Same reason why Amitekun is Illegal is the same reason why it was established, 'To Stop Fulani Herdsmen' and as far as this government is concern such move will always be illegal, because Fulani herds is a delibrate move to take over all part of the country

Well said

There's vigilante group use it.

Establishment of Amotekun in my opinion is a welcome development in save guarding the lives of all Nigerians living in the Southwest from terrorist. So let it be

The AGF just stirred up a hornet's nest. I bet he will regret the outcome at the end. Nigeria unity is tied to this issue of security. Yorubas are peace loving people that shouldn't be messed around with. He shouldn't have woken the sleeping giant!

Every Yoruba man that had a hand in the fate that has befallen the ÀMÒTÉKÙN initiative because of his personal ambition or any other reason will suffer FAILURE at the edge of the realization of his ambition.

South West Vs Government of the North, for the North by the North. South East will be the umpire

The Southwest has no representatives in the NASS. Those who found themselves there are traitors selling their people for money and power. They don't realize if their people are subdued, they become slaves, though, they are already serving their masters now. Eepa npa'ra re, ...

Even anambra had vigilante group, what are we now saying

Disobeying court orders is illegal, but certainly not defending the safety and security of those who elected you into office. Whoever said it is illegal, whether he or she is in high places or not, is an uneducated fellow, who needs public lessons. Rebuke him or her!

We are getting there

They serve similar purpose and since fed gov't can't establish state police, then governor's will provide strategy to mentain security in their respective state and that is how concern leader supposed to do.

Now I understand why we shouldn't be one country

Q0I

For Sale Land measuring 868.634SQM, fully fenced and gated along Deeper life/GM road, Aduloju layout, Ashi-Bodija, Ibadan. Title documents: Registered Survey, C of O in process. Asking Price: ₦13M

What a useless country....we should just divide and go our separate ways since dis northerners will not even allow us protect ourselves

The Northerners are so arrogant that behave as if they own Nigeria. The most painful aspect of it is that the Southern leaders and people will do nothing to resist this slavery.

There need to b some kind of control

Hisbah is for moral enforcement not security

I don't support this pronouncement. But DAWN, the SWNG should go back to the drawing board. Hisba at Kano and Zamfara were fully codified and undergo all legislative ways before coming operational. The FG should reverse this order and invite stakeholders on Amotekun/ chart way

Illegality on the ground of protection over human beings. Hisbah civilian taskforce is lawful because they are protecting cow. Understand this.

When will the problem of this nation stop. Fed government can not provide security for the masses, the states decides to provide security for its people the fed govt say it's illegal... Which kind country be this sef 😕😕😡😡

Amọtẹkun is here to stay
