They made this declaration during the launch of a new security outfit code-named Amotekun.
He added that the establishment of Amotekun, is without prejudice to the expectations of patriotic discharge of your mandates as provided in our laws, noting that the region is concerned with the security of its people and property. “The Commission has taken care of all grey areas that could cause friction in the operations of the personnel that will be deployed for the programme. As a matter of fact, the Nigeria Police will oversee and moderate the activities of Amotekun, thus making its operation conform to the acceptable standards. Amotekun is the Yoruba name for the Leopard. It is not the Tiger, Ekun.
“The Governors in the Southwest Region will provide all the logistic support that will enhance seamless operations of the programme. Each of the six States has procured 20 Pick-up Vans equipped with communication gadgets and one hundred motorcycles for the take-off of the Security Network. I wish to enjoin all those that will be in charge of the vehicles and motorcycles to ensure their adequate maintenance and use them only for the intended purpose.
Check out Governor Makinde's final remarks ' All we are doing is creating an appendage of local vigilantes that will feed the current state apparatus ' , simple!
A welcome development
Good security outfit provided it is not abused An average Nigerian in uniform is intoxicated with power and abused the purpose of setting up the outfit As a result, the innocent people suffered for what suppose to be a benefit or protection
I just dislike this country called Nigeria. Everything here is just backward.
I salute SW govt initiative because the one at the center is viciously comprised.
And python will not dance abi he's doing rehearsal
It is against Nigeria constitutiona
Nice
Politicians will abuse during election.
Interesting days ahead
Your security outfit is very,very good. Any person or person's who opposed it opposed the unity of Nigeria. They south western states of Nigeria have every rights to protect themselves in their own soil.
This is injustice. In as much as I support this, river states government tried starting same security outfits in that region but buhari disbanded them. If this is allowed, then GovWike should as a matter of urgency float same security outfit in river state.we're all Nigerians👌

Amotekun as South-West ‘Police’ – Daily TrustThe decision of governors of the South-West geopolitical zone to establish regional ‘police’, Amotekun, as from today Thursday, January 9, 2020, may not have come as a surprise for two reasons. First, is the serial agitation by South-West political leaders for state police system for close to a decade now. The second is the intractable … We have reached the stage where this kind of initiative is inevitable. Kudos to the Governors. SW leaders are always at the forefront in protecting the interests of their people. As of today, if the Police stop you, you can speak to them in English. With the establishment of Regional Police in the South West, I hope inability to speak Yoruba wouldn't be a disadvantage.
