They were also accused of arresting drivers without licenses and impounding vehicles without tinted permits.

Operatives of the Ondo State Security Network Agency, codenamed Amotekun have come under fire for indiscriminately checking of mobile phones and laptops of residents of the state.“This stop and search of phones and laptops by Amotekun in Akure has led to extortions, illegal arrests and harassment of youths,” a resident told SaharaReporters.

“I have been inundated with various reports in the last one week that Amotekun Corps members have resorted to searching and confiscating the mobile phones of youths in the state, particularly in Akure the state capital. I have likewise been told that different vehicles belonging to some youths had also been seized by Amotekun operatives. Although I very much doubt if any of these overzealous misadventures is part of the operational scope of Ondo State Amotekun Corps.

“Your Excellency will recall that the Nigerian youths eventually revolted against SARS operatives because of their notoriety for extortion, maiming, brutalization, extrajudicial killing and unlawful searching and seizing of mobile phones of the citizens. It is however necessary to rein in the operatives of Amotekun before they unconsciously begin to toe the inglorious path of SARS that was eventually banned by the federal government.

“On behalf of all the youths of Ondo State, I passionately plead with our dear governor to please impress on the state leadership of Amotekun, the need for maintaining a good relationship with the citizens, particularly the youths as well as the importance of professional conduct by the operatives of Ondo State chapter of the South West Security Network.”

There's something inherently wrong with the mindset of Nigerians. Once they are given guns, the mindset changes to one of overlords. It's a very deep rooted thing.
