Well, the most challenging issue that confronts Nigeria today is insecurity, where people are kidnapped and killed. Amotekun ShehuSani Insecurity Nigeria

as well as kidnapping in the country and the failure of the Federal Government to tame the menace, which has brought about alternative initiative such as Amotekun by the Southwest Governors.
