File photo: Some of the security vehicles provided by South-West states for the Western Nigeria Security Network, Operation Amotekun.The Commander, Ekiti Amotekun Corps, Brig. Gen. Joe Komolafe , on Saturday, warned residents against conniving with kidnappers to desist from such or face consequences.
Komolafe, who said that apart from facing the wrath of the law when caught, the collaborators would end up as victims of the kidnappers as a result of their greed.The Amotekun boss spoke in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, in reaction to the revelation of a kidnap victim that villagers were cooking for kidnappers who abducted him, just as some okada riders were privy to the kidnappers’ activities.
Reacting, Komolafe said, “We are trying as much as possible to speak to the minds of the residents that it is not in their best interest to aid the kidnappers because one day, they may fall victim.”“The kidnappers are here. They are not spirits. Residents should give information. We tell residents – why don’t you cooperate with us and security agencies and give us information?
“You don’t need to collaborate with criminals. Why will residents stay by the roadside and call kidnappers in the bush to arrest a particular vehicle which they think conveys people who can pay ransom? I always tell villagers there is no point collaborating with kidnappers and that what they should rather do is to give information to the security agencies.
I pray and hope Amotekun have not become a vengeful tool in the hand of politicians
Connivers with kidnappers be crushed.
Very strange! You mean Fulani conniving with Yoruba to kidnap possibly Yoruba? Is like the truth is about to be told so that shame catches SR, Punch newspaper and its online, FFK, Kanu & cohorts that kidnappers cut across it is never restricted to a tribe. Way out is TRUTH!

You people, Amotekun has come to stay. Though you have many enemies; among them, Kidnappers, Miyetti Allah, Islamic Fundamentalists, Hoodlums, Area boys, Cultists, Armed Robbers, Criminals, Rapists etc. Yet you shall prevail. Kudos to Govs. Makinde of Oyo and Akeredolu of Ondo.
