: , ears have heard and eyes have seen tremendous feats towards stemming the tide of insecurity; thereby ensuring that there is tranquillity.
Amotekun corps has been known for its swift response, sagacity or passion to secure the lives and properties of the people. Indeed, Amotekun has done well so far; if not for them, possibly the farmers and herdsmen crises would have become more devastating. This provocative menace has reduced to a very large extent, which now made the farmers in the region go to their farms with no or little fear of being attacked by the unusual unknown bandits.

The Omoluabi ethos has attracted the people of the South to the Amotekun Corps, thus making them their last resort in the provision of adequate security.
The initiative as well is to serve as a grassroots intelligence network for conventional security. Hence, it is expected that operatives would gather information about crimes and suspicious activities from the communities for necessary action.
