This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Special Assistant, Media and Public Relations , Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu.
“The setting up of the paramilitary organization called “Amotekun” is illegal and runs contrary to the provisions of the Nigerian law,” the statement read.The security body was recently launched by the governors of the South-West states to tackle kidnapping and other criminal activities in the zone. But the Federal Government maintained that “the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 has established the Army, Navy and Airforce, including the Police and other numerous paramilitary organisations for the purpose of the defence of Nigeria”.
According to the government, consequently, no other authority at the state level, whether the executive or legislature has the legal authority over defence.Federal Republic of Nigeria is a sovereign entity and is governed bydemocracy. It is a Federation of states, but with the FederalThe division of executive and legislative authority between the Federalthe Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 .order and good government of the Federation and in particular, theList.
What of the herdsmen that have been killing? Christians should better wise up. The government has always condemned the killing yet do nothing is done. Now that they looking for a way of survival,they are being stopped. Hmmm.
Antagonist
Hahaha, the once in the North are not illegal but southern security outfit is illegal. Niger wonder. The Government is Fulani government anything goes for them.
Lol, funny nation
Yorubas haven't seen anything
But it is legal for the citizens to be killed wantonly! When killers arrested in action are kept in police custody, the police release them after God knows what and the come back more hardened. Is that not illegal?
See his head like desert lizard head
Coke man has no right or jurisdiction to declare the outfit illegal
He wanted to do dread ni
Government wey no dey follow constitution dey shout follow constitution...everybody go get yourself a gun
The war against Amotekun is not against the outfit, it against the coming together of a people which often stimulate fear in incompetent leaders. Amotekun
What happened when some Northern States established their Hisba Police?
SOON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF FULANI WORLD WIDE, WILL TELL US THAT HOME, STREET AND VIGILANTE SECURITY GUARDS IS ILLEGAL. SANCO IS JUST THINKING ALOUD. *FG declares Amotekun illegal
He is high on some dangerous substances
It is not federal Government but those who claims that this government belongs to them, such as Mr Justice and Mr information ministry. They make policy statement without the president and end up bringing more confusion to themselves not me. The zeal of being a Minister.
Does the AGF even have common comb at home? Just look his hair !
MALAMI needs this bcos he is d worst AGF in d history of Nigeria,he even talks like imbecile,he look so unkept by not combing his hair...Am beginning to believe dat 70% of Buhari appointees av certificate problems,termites ate una CJN certificate
Don't This Guy Have A Barber In His Street?, He Should Had, At Least Combed His Hair!
Better put, herdsmen pampering regime declares Amotekun illegal, after Miyeti Allah indirectly said Amotekun was instituted for them because they are terrorists.
Neighborhood watch in Abakaliki Ebonyi state operates more than the police. Ask FrancisNwifuru speaker Ebonyi state house of assembly.
Cc marina_esiri
Ko soro lenu FG nah
I laugh at my south west brothers, when ipob came out and the govt shut them down y'all were mocking the Igbo's saying they were enemies of the state, please you guys should also taste the same poison that was served to the ipob
Who made this guy a SAN? TheWorstOfTakingTheRestOfUsForARide
This amotekun won't face their duty, they will always chase shadows ... That's my problem
What kind of country is this sef? God why? Why giving us bad leaders... Yesterday I saw new note of 5k and 2k in the country where their currency is not valved and as diminished ... Is amotekun our problem, why can't they work on the forces we have on ground, why and why o'lord?
Amotekun is illegal but hisbah police is legal abi I pray this restructuring we've been talking about happens very soon.
Amotekun is here to stay!
This is not acceptable!
I be think say Amotekun na person wen de b arrest. So, we get navy, army, 👮? You know say constitutionally una suppose ensure say Una do good roads? Standard hospital? Say all government schools suppose get desk, chairs etc, Una allow all these ones improvise but na Una wake up.
The first rule of survival as a human is safety. if at any point in time this (safety) is threatened, deliberate plan must be put in place to ensure survival. If AMOTEKUN starts operating fully, kidnapping, killings by herdsmen and other crimes will be brought to a minimal level
It is certain Amotekun will destabilise Fulani agenda in SW. All the noise coming from the north against 'Amotekun' is a proof that our Governors are on the right track and therefore should not be distracted. Amotekun is here to stay. Enough is enough.
My watch 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣as long as they are not Hausa or Fulani so it's gonna be illegal.
Should have at least combed his hair.
This nigga no think before him talk
Free visa policy now amotekun illegal fulanisation is real they re gonna flood nigeria soon Hold on, whats Hisbah n JTF?
It seems that our leaders are insensitive to bad security situation in Nigeria. Instead of FG to welcome this development and encourage other regions to follow suit but it is condemnation we are getting. If you are a criminal stay away from sw.
What's the problem of this people, after all they said security is everybody business
Simple stuff: When folks from northern Nigeria cried out for the state of utopia called sharia the constitution was amended. The South West want security and they have released Amotekun, amend the constitution too. What is good for the religious is good for the tribesmen.
We need to be separated from these cows
Him papa na illegal
Divine intervention is required to solve security problems in this country. The end time signs... Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour today. Jesus is coming soon.
bokoharam, iswap and ipob which one is a danger to the surviaval of the nigeria state . inec , judiciary and fed govt which one is a threat to nigeria democracy and peace
Let me see how politically sophisticated region will take this 😂😂😂
What about HISBAH that are involving in criminal activities:
My Yoruba people, how market? What happened to one Nigeria with the North?
Imagine
But sharia police is Legal.
Vigilante outfits are all over the nation, bearing arms and collecting levy from ppl every month. Then there's the civilian jtf up north, i wonder why there's so much furore over this amotekun matter
It's Illegal cos these herdsmen have a motive.... And this security outfit might thwart it.... Cos they have no control over them like they do to other security agencies in d country, they tag them illegal.... This film wey dis country dry play, go soon finish...
I am watching to see how this will play out
We have this type of security outfit in the north and it's legal. Oga, Why now declares the southern own illegal.
This Malami is too dull!!🤦♂️
That's their own problem. Amotekun is here to stay.
Interesting events ahead.....
Why must everything in this country be political, misplacement of priority lives and safety of people should be paramount not declaring a particular security operations illegal ....wisdom .
This man wey no dey fit comb hin hair..🤣🤣🤣
Only bokoharam and Fulani killers are legal abi? this time yoruba should support biafra to disintegrate this evil enclave called nigeria, it clear to them now that ipob is right then!
The northern government has declares Amotekun illegal simple.
This serves supporters of Amotekun who voted for buhari/APC in 2015 right!! What is playing out now was what those of us for-saw about buhari and his style of administration &were called names 4 it He was always very incompetent,tyrannical & biased in favour of his ppl.
I learnt AGF decided to declare Operation Amotekun illegal because he was not consulted. Is that the true position Barr?
But civilian JTF, ISBA and co are legal in the eyes of law
is the Civilian JTF in the Northeast illegal too?
If high places Barrister like Attorney general of Nigeria can pronounced something illegal hope he can clear the mess of insecurities within west like he has pronounced
Illegal Why? But FG won't reform our Police
'Terrorist group' would have been better off. One Nigeria jari. Yoruba people wan form say them be giant. Shebi una want one Nigeria, more loading. Soon them go declare operation eradicate Amotekun. Las las we all go get sense for this contraption.
You people think that you can hold Nigerians to ransom, if this kind of security measure generate from the North you will not banned it.
Interesting, I believe these regions knows there are state police and NSCDC on board before going ahead to create amotekun. Let every region defends themselves irrespective of which group they created to watch over there region.
When there is issue btw the 'OBA' who coronated d AREE Onakakanfo & d AREE coronated a 'Mayegun' last yr & d AREE also introduced the 'AMOTEKUN' in question, & D Oba' also went on to Coronate anoda 'Mayegun' dis week. So some1 influences d FG on AMOTEKUN. POWER TUSSLE
The die is cast. I laugh in French This FULANI GOOMENT SEF... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amotekunism by oluwakayode Stephen-Adeyemo (Mediapreneur/Life coach) (U) - Principle of improvised defense in the wake of failed public security apparatus, discredited by power brokers out of political/sectarian paranoia. Amotekunized Amotekunic Amotech (AI approach to ~)
Fg is acting crazy of new age. What nonsense is this. I believe and trust our leaders and elders in Yoruba. They will do something
fkeyamo sir, your expertise is needed on this. You atleast were available online to analyze the sweet victory of HopeUzodinma at the SC. Your colleague the AG said states and region cannot create vigilance groups or law enforcement agencies even with their security votes
Who declared it legal before?
Wait and watch how the power hungry bastards in power in SW will back track as soon as Buhari threatens Thiefnubu's presidential ambition.
Who is JTF civilian in Maiduguri and yobe, Hisbah in kano, the truth is we south are the problem. Nig is operating unity system of govt controlled by the north and we accepted it hence we are in this mess.
AMOTEKUN! AMOTEKUN!! AMOTEKUN!!!....O TI BALE BI OWARA OJO, KI EKU LE GBO KO SO FUN TOKO, KI ADA GBO KO RO FUN OBE, KI FULANI GBO KO SO FUN HAUSA, KI GBOGBO TI OWO OMO WON BO ASO. AMOTEKUN KO NI BI RE. KAKA BE, KI ONIKALUKU JE BABA RE.
I'm suspecting this Fulani government How can you condemn efforts made by state government in strengthen its security standard.. Amotekun is here to stay
Trust is happy about this.
MBuhari is the commander in chief, he has the constitutional right to protect Nigerians, but he woefully failed in that duty, shouldn't he support the effort of any well-meaning authority in the country to help in this regard?
This marriage of inconvenience should go through a referendum now.
Nigeria is illegal . These abokis are wasted generations. Let's go our different ways..
FG is Nigeria Amotekun are Cameron. This is Nigeria Where they kill fela mother.
If you truly want to assist this country why can't you empower the Nigeria police more so that to tackle all in appropriate actions?
Point of correction, not the Fulani declared them as illegal but FG
Yoruba Buhari dogs will not come here and condemn this o cos of their criminal selfish interests
Civilian JTF is not illegal
Boko haram is legal....animals
Nigerian govt will always be a surprise, this period that the security architecture of NigeriaGov Is highly unable to conquer her security challenges emanating from within? It's very worrisome
Government of the North, for the North and by the North !!!!!!! that's the true Definition of Nigeria's Democracy at this moment. Amotekun is illegal whole Hisbah Police is legal. Anyways 'There's God in Everything we do' - Mama Peace. !!!!!
But Hisbah is legal abi! We are really a conquered people
Hisbah police in the north is legal but Amotekun in the South West is illegal...... Hmmm we need to separate from Fulani Government and build a new nation in ODUDUWA REPUBLIC
As try Yoruba boy sincerely speaking it's a gud initiative but can't stand test of times..So to me it's meaningless...establish dis week people start talking about Fulani hersmen..
I want to ask, what about some security outfits in de NORTHERN STATES assisting military to fight insurgency. I need clarification please.
Good morning South Western Nigeria!!
👏👏👏👏
Civilian JTF is also illegal.
This one shall pass away.
We are happy to use the law that established the Civilian JTF in Borno All Nomadic grazing will be banned in all Southern States and all AK-47 carrying Herdsmen must be disarmed immediately.
'This is the beginning of the end of this contraption called Nigeria as one nation'
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan GEJonathan we are very sorry. Please forgive us l, we don't know it will turn out this way!
What about Hisbah in North
ayemojubar FG tí ya WÉRÉ!
BOKO HARAM HAS SPOKEN..BUHARI refused to kill Boko Haram leaders, refused to deal with the Boko Haram financiers, /source of finances. But delighted bullying the people that are trying to safe/protect their people.
Nigeria Will Headings,,,, Haba,,,,God Bls FG of Nigeria
Kwakwakwakwa 🤡
You must be joking!! The reality will stares you in face man!!
If the north can have cjtf and hisbah why can't we have Amotekun? If Yoruba leaders can accept this nonsense and back down then they are cowards. Enough of this nonsense, so we should allow these barbarians kill us all? The North are biting more than they can chew.
This is a serious case here
Tinubu and his gang sod you guys out and you followed sheepishly. Now, it's one chance. Welcome to Buhari's Nigeria
They need their own security since Nigerian govt can’t protect their ppl, why saying is illegal?
The handwriting is very clearly seen on the wall. The painful thing is there are some foolish Yoruba people bearing general who will never have sense in their lives defending these terrorists.
Let FG go to court. The security outfit has come to stay. Let court pronounce otherwise, nobody can just sit in Abuja and be dictating directions to people in the SW as to what to do and what not to do.
Idiots
At least FrankZephyr1 talk am
biofroak50 Laughs in Hisbah police 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can't declare what you didn't set up illegal. Freedom of speech, doesn't mean freedom of action.
But okay with this.👇🏾. Nansense.
AsiwajuTinubu kfayemi RotimiAkeredolu ProfOsinbajo seyiamakinde NGRPresident Amotekun is here to stay. Ignore the noise from the AGF. Attorney General of the Fulani
Restructure Nigeria - FG No Stop Fulani Herdsmen - FG No Don't worry each region will protect themselves... No one has the right to kill. Amotekun is just to defend SW territory... Let every region do the same. SS and SE wake up.
But Bandits and herdsmen killing us is legal? Federal government must be mad.
Amotekun has come to stay. Ko si si baba enikan to le da duro.
I think the Best solution is for the SW house of assemblies to pass the law enforcing the amotekun VG to handicapp the nefarious agenda from up there
😂😂 i already know this would be their next move!! Northerners are holding on tight to the balls of this country, squeezing every other geo political zone in the way that best please them
Zoo!
Funniest thing is most of us here don't know that Nigeria as an entity expired in 2014
Oluwa, wetin dey AMOTEKUNate for this country?
Just like this regime is illegal.
Hisbah in the north is legal Amotekan in the south is Illegally Ok o, make una kwantinue
Breaking News :- FULANI GOVERNMENT FG declares a Yoruba Nation Security Outfit Amotekun illegal... There corrected... 😂😂 Don't sugar coat news ffs.
10pm news go mad oo ..so many breaking news today ! Kai
Just imagine a government who can’t protect Her citizen fighting against those who want to help ....FG as constituted is flop
The APC led administration is absolutely nothing , jst imagine d well planned supreme judgment in IMO state , we are finished in this part of the world
E neva even start ...cowmen don dey trebble abi na tremble
Because it is SW? What about the hisba in Kano?
If Amotekun forces women to cover up like masquerades on the street....the FG will approve of it.
Court will decide
Hahahaha...awon politically sophisticated region. Una don see am now. June 12 is next.
This matter has gone beyond legal, it's now survival against ethnic cleansing.
The FG itself is illegal. Nigeria wasn't meant to operate unitary system. Amotekun is here to stay.
But Sharia Police in the north is Legal , The British Experiment called Nigeria has failed .
JamesSince1960 How mrket
Am expecting this from d day one, Nigeria security hope is doughtful in Nigeria walahi
Jokers🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Who cares about what FG thinks about Amotekun? FG is happy that Nigerians are been kidnapped, killed by criminals and robbed of our properties since the leaders have security for themselves. Only a mad government will think of not securing its citizens!
Whether they like it or not, Western Nigeria will break away. They will not succeed. We shall overcome the rudderless herders who want to continue to hold us back. In Western Nigeria we stand!
Someone said that the FG there stands for Fulani Government.. Omo I can't stop laughing. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
As SW dn buy cars finish eh, anyway incase we wn sell those amotekun cars 2nd hand we go buy am from them😂
Hisbah for the North Amotekun for the Southwest Bakassi boys for the South South IPOB for the South East Finally the real Nig is emanating.. What is good for goose..
Doom country govern by empty leaders
We are all watching what this government is turning us to right? The herdsmen are not illegal, hisbah is not illegal, Metiah Allah not illegal but any group in the south is illegal and must be banned. We asked for this nonsense.
Interesting time ahead
Southern Nigeria use your tongue and count your teeth
Hisbah police is illegal too. Civilian jtf is illegal too. Except if the plan is to make the southwest vulnerable for an onslaught. MBuhari ProfOsinbajo MalamiSan
Can you guys actually do proper journalism, write a full story for God’s sake. I don’t know how you keep winning the awards you do with this shitty reporting, even Daily Mail the worse British Newspaper does a better job! Disgusting
But Kano Hisbah arrested a police officer fortnight ago.
ayemojubar Lol.... Not surprised. The real owners of the country asked the FG to do this some days back. Amotekun illegal but Hisbah police is legal. This is Nigeria.
...a case of `what is good for the goose is bad fir the gander'. Lol 😂
It was expected
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 very funny and unstable nation
hahahahahahahaha!! the game is the game.
Jokers... As long as Hisbah police in Kano is still operating, they have no say on this... Amotekun is here to stay!... To hell with the North, we are better as a separate country!
Lol
