ria Security Outfit codenamed Operation Amotekun , against any breach of security.
The states, had before the launch, said the OPC and other members of the SSSG, would be used for intelligence gathering. The Police Public Relations Officer for the Ekiti State Police Command, Sunday Abutu, said any OPC member that had prohibited firearms would be arrested.Abutu said it was the responsibility of the police to arrest and prosecute any individual or group bearing arms illegally.
He said the command would not condone any form of possession of prohibited firearms from members of the Amotekun security operation. Also, the Ondo Police Command said it was illegal for anybody to possess firearms without being licensed. Bandele, who explained that the farmers’ association had over 2,500 men in its security department, described the Amotekun initiative as the best thing to happen to the Yoruba nation.Meanwhile, the Convener of Northern Elders’ Forum and former Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Prof Ango Abdullahi, on Sunday commended governors of the South-West for establishing Operation Amotekun.
The union said this became imperative in view of the spate of killings, kidnapping, arson and looting in the North-Central zone. “We look forward to Ohanaeze Ndigbo and the Niger Delta leaders toeing the same path of the Yoruba states to assist security agencies in protecting their communities.”The Chairman, Nigerian Bar Association, Ado Ekiti Chapter, Samuel Falade, also said that the South-West governors had not breached any section of the 1999 Constitution by establishing Operation Amotekun.
What of the gun carried by herdsmen are they legal
Fuck the police...
Fulani herdsmen are carrying arms joorr
Northern Mouthpiece has spoken, Amotekun is their headache not AK47 carrying fulani herdsmen, Boko Haram and bandits.
How many Boko Haram insurgents have you prosecuted for carrying illegal firearms? Again, how many cattle rustlers or combatant herds men carrying firearms have the 'men in black' arrested? All we (S. Westerns) know is that we need to protect ourselves against wicked elements!
Do it in the south, it is illegal but if it is the north they call it self defense
How many Boko boys have you arrested ever since...
Dear IG of PoliceNG, if you do your job well no region or state would have thought of self help. It's common sense. And then the obvious Nepotistic traits, common on, how many herdsmen have been arrested. It's like yaall issue statements before making sense of it.
NGPoliceForce what are you guys afraid of? Are the fulani herdsmen, the fulani bandits and the kidnappers not carrying illegal arms? What have you done about it? They operate freely without inhibitions and you guys dared to speak against a worthy cause!
All of you replying to this tweet are not serious at all, you cannot copy the useless PoliceNG they failed to protect you and I and you still fear them. Listen PoliceNG if anything Bad happen to Amotekun You will not like me.
I wonder what this northerners think of themselves SMH
Was Nigeria Police dead when Fulani herdsmen were brandishing AK47? Myetti Allah has more sophisticated weapons too but the Police dare talk about them. We understand. The same FGN that tagged IPOB as terrosit group never call Fulani herdsmen terrors. Inside life at ilu jogbo 🇳🇬
Seriously this police and opc beef never end nawa o Nigeria sha be using useless tactics to give more arms and power to the PoliceNG .laslas it's the unarmed innocent youths that will get harrassed amotekun ko amoeba ni
You are a big fool .what about fulani that carry AK47
Shame on SW. why are they trying to fight the government the instituted against there fellow southerners.🤷♂️
Which arms is illegal & which one is legal ooooo 🤷
So na stick and stones Operation Amotekun go carry ? Lol.. Some part of this country must have sense by force
Herdsmen police. After the historic & bloody taa taa taa taa taa in Kogi state, how many did the corrupt nepotic herdsmen police arrest?
IG for the north
You can't arrest herdsmen but these abi?
Gradually but surely, restructuring will happen to Nigeria whether the terrorists like it or not.
If yu have really done yur job well, there wouldn't have been any Operation Amotekun. Plus, Yu expect em to carry shakabula, when they are not going farming. Think it thru tho.
Bandits bearing sophisticated weapons can stand on podiums with Northern Governors in Nigeria and it's fine. South West tries to protect themselves and it's 'illegal arms'!!!!
Shame on you Sir.
What a confusing statement. ..
Won binu ori wa. Ogun kill u
Say the same to the herdsmen....
Who said they needed weapon .... a stick of broom is okay biko. Amotekun101
Nigerian Police is a scam. How can you be so apt in responding to Amotekun when Fulani herdsmen are carrying guns instead of sticks? Are you saying Fulani herdsmen have the legal backing/licence to carry guns, kill, rape, steal, rob and destroy properties?
If d securities av being alive nd sincere to dr responsibilities dr wouldn't b any needs for operation amoteku,wat a pity state we are
In other words don’t defend yourself against criminality
Bad belle
Lord let your kingdom come
If it is the south east this warning is given to, 80 percent of you responding to this by the ig will support it and laud him with all your strengths smmh
If they carry weapons not licensed or approved legally by law or govt, they should be arrested and prosecuted by law
No problem. OPC and Hunters will be integrated into Amotekun
Tell that to herdmens..
Start arresting Fulani herdsmen first, Hypocrites! It is obvious that the govt sanctioned the arms carrying fulanis.if you guys have been living up to your responsibilities, there won't have been need for this regional policing. All security agencies is controlled by a section.
How many Herdsmen have been arrested for carrying illegal arms?
Hahahahahahhahaha Oduduwa should collect there L in peace 😂😂😂😂
Oh God, will Nigeria continue like this?
What a way to rekindle the revolution fire🔥.
You should talk about the thief’s u called ur staffs shooting and killing innocent youths 🙌🏼nonsense
so why didn't they arrest this guy?
Folks can’t you all see that this guys are not happy because of the new development in town you can now understand why so many killings and no one has been arrested
How many of the herdsmen carrying Ak47 have you arrested? Nigeria belongs to all of us.
Yes, they will register the fire arms, chikena
I am happy with the warning from the Nigerian police to my mumu people from the Southwest. Carry weapon and be arrested simple. OPC my foot. Headsmen must continue with their work o. Nonsense!
How abt the ones herdsmen brandish everywhere? Those are legal right?
Nigeria is a useless Country, a Nation that negotiates with bandits and terrorists, free and compensate them after apprehension...but punishes, intimidates, extorts and oppresses innocent citizens...Nigeria is not a Country but a prison yard We need to split this useles Country
The police will do well to disarm the Fulani herdsmen first.
Nigerians will well understand that, this statement is from northern side. They speak through IG
How many of the gun totting killer herdsmen and Boko Haram terrorists have you apprehended by your Police & brought to justice? The Hisbah militia who go around arresting prostitutes and breaking beer bottle in beer pallors , did you arrest them and dispossess them of their guns?
when the police says illegal firearms, its referring to rifles, pistols and any other military level weapons not the hunter Dane guns, this can be legalized by the state commissioner under the governor's approval, its clear that hunters are allowed usage of this guns everywhere
Amoteku is a every good experiment for state and regional policing since the fedral police is failing Nigeria internal security
The herdsmen is above the law because they are part of the government.
This is a clear indication that the igp do not support the creation of amotekun
PoliceNG how many fulani herds men with AK 47 have you arrested. These community security initiatives is commendable. It will prevent fulani killer herds men from killing innocent Nigerians.
Raise action to legalise the arms then.
Go and do it in the North first. Una head don bend
They'll kill you & go free & twist the system to punish you if you retaliate, that's the power of dominance.
Sorry plzzz what's now their essence of been formed..... Is it not to combat Fulani militant who carry sufficicated arms.......the police are bias
With opposition to this outfit from the North,I think it is time the leadership of the South-West, South-East & South-South regions call for regional autonomy. The North cannot continue to dictate to the rest of Nigerians how things ought to be.
😂😂😂 Don't be surprised if they approve only whistles, torches and sticks for them.
Jealousy ☹️yeyepolice people
Dey don't even need arms. They need strong and sure Juju. Keep ur arms and we will disarm u will our Juju.
Did this man warn those herdsmen with arms like this? Mehn Nig is shitty
'ls only the Lion knows the Secret of the Died goat ' north is the problem Nigeria is facing today
I hope this also applies to herdsmen
We have never heard police condemn terrorist Fulani herdsmen attacks..but very fast to condemn people who wants to protect themselves through security means.. Even private vigilante groups carry guns. Why Amotekun
Useless cowards go and arrest them. U all are corrupt criminals
There's growing fear within PoliceNG not to be thrown out of business by AMOTEKUN, they know they've failed as a security outfit but stil want to stay relevant
This is an afront against the Yorubas by a northern officer who has become the mouthpiece of the Fulanis I tell you this statement is not made by the IG but by the Fulanis. It is only coming out through the IG
True, but are the herdsmen truly licenced? The Amotekun govs should stop the security funds given to the Nigerian Police which is also a prerogative🤔
But fulani herdsmen can carry illegal arms with daggers and charms and they won't be arrested...... This country ba make we just sell am and share the money
How about the herdsmen with machine guns. These guys are gonna frustrate the amotekuns.they won't let it succeed
Herds men carry arms but they are not arrested, what about the Hisbah police, Animal farm.
But herdsmen carrying illegal and assault riffles are free to carry them right. All is not well.
Police did not arrest herdsmen with illegal Ak47's. Or are they carrying licenced riffles?
As I am writing this my son in law was kidnapped last night in Kaduna and just see how insensitive this IGP is for goodness sake.
I thought the this man would be so ashame of his failures to protect lives and property and would thank the governors for this initiative and cooperate with them in order to create synergy in the security situation , but look at what he is saying yet CJTF are fighting in Borno?
What of Herdsmen with guns, is their guns legitimate ? What of Northern Vigilante that joined and Combat Boko Haram ? Please sir, let them help work with Gallant Nigeria Police. However, everyone that may want to use the Amotekun illegally should be arrested.
Herdsmen carry illegal arms as well, you should be concerned about those carrying illegal arms to harm citizens not those carrying arms to protect the citizens
How many of the killer Fulani's with illegal arms have you arrested?
So how can they confront kidnappers and killer herdsmen?
But Civilian JTF can carry machine gun u must be joking ...... If the nations security is up to it's task will Amotekun emerge? This is the scope the presidency operated by cabal want to use but Aboki you have forgotten we are Yoruba wr know our way out logically..
Fool...i guess the fulani herdsmen carry arms legally
Herdsmen are untouchable I guess. I pray bakasi comes back to south east
And i ask again,is it by force for all the regions to live together?.
Who is afraid of Amotekun?
They've stated envisaged Operation Amotekun, for them to Synergize with the team so that it will be easy pissy to curb the chronic corruption that's in the country they are their saying junk Yeye people.
Something is sure wrong with dis country, north is just d problem of Nigeria
AkanniAkinsowon They should use Dane guns while your Fulani militias use machine guns, how quaint!
Military interventions or community policing only treats the symptoms (terrorism, kidnapping, rituals, etc) of insecurity and not the root causes (unemployment, religious indoctrinations, high level illiteracy, etc). Holland is a good case study.
Under your watch, fake policemen flew Nigerian police chopper shooting and killing innocent Kogi voters and yet you never arrested anyone. Up! Up!! Amotekun and more are coming.
What of fulani herdsmen? This is totally bias and is not fair
AdewaleLloyd , Mr IG, arrest the Fulani herdmen that is killing good citizens of this country. Police under your watch is nothing but a failure.
When will the AK47 herdsmen be arrested?
If OPC is allowed to bear fire arms they will misapply them. OPC is a known organization to the Police, and if allowed to carry any sophisticated weapons they will cause mayhem for the populace. We don't want to go back to their era of operation in Lagos.
But fulani headsmen can do so for protection, wicked world
ONE SHITTY NIGERIA: THE HERDSMEN ARE SPECIAL CITIZENS.
😂😂 Nigeria is funny
The responses of police are so tribilical, Fulani herdsmen carry sophisticated weapon on a daily basis, kill kidnapped innocent people without remorse or reprimand from Nigerian police
But the fulani herders are free to carry illegal automatic riffles right? If Nigerians still pretends to be ignorance of the sponsors & promoters of all this killings & kidnapping going on in this country it is a shame.
How many herdsmen or bokoharam carrying illegal arm have you arrested?
foolish Nigeria police, how many hersmen with Ak47 have you arrested hypocrite, select and choose government.
Arms are made for herdmen terrorist group. No other section of the country should do that.
My concern is that some of these SW Govs are owning Salary.What will happen by the time that's Amotekuns guy are not being paid for like 3months.Are not in trouble?
The South West should pass law to legalize this body.
What have you done about herdsmen and what are you plans on security? You are more concerned with people who want to complement and help the Police Shioooo
The Police too are legal am Robbers
I guess the Fulani Herdsmen are excluded from the illegal arm possession law.None of them have yet been arrested for the atrocities they've committed with their AK47. Everyday they roam around the street with arms yet the PoliceNG,HQNigerianArmy & NigeriaGov don't say nothing.
Nigeria is not one people, and can't never be one.
PoliceNG You refuse to arrest herdsmen with illegal weapons killing innocent farmers and people generally. However, you are ready to arrest regional and constituted security outfit protecting the masses. Did you do that in Borno? AshamedOfMyPresident
Sure.
But all these Police are useless i swear..this country is shit...damn
It's funny how Nigeria Police Force is quick to issue warning to non northern groups but will never do same to the fulani herdsmen carrying guns. SMH
Northerners want 2 frustrate Amotekun by all means,God pass una
It's funny how Nigeria Police Force is quick to issue warning to non northern groups but will never do same to the fulani herdsmen carrying guns. SHM
dis Amotekun guys go last last be like SARS
How many Fulani herdsmen have you arrested for caring AK47...?,may God continue punishing dis fake country...
But herders are not...
But sharia police can carry arms don't know what northern feel they are
No sir, they need to defend their land. You guys have failed 🇳🇬
Problem!!!😏
like I’ve said before , together we fall, divided we are stronger. Nigeria need to go, we need new names for the East, north, west and south. I think this man is delusional. I know 2023 will be a historic year, either by civil war or by voting in people’s choice.
Herdsmen are out there roaming around the country with illegal and sophisticated arms, none of them is yet to be arrested. Yeye dey smell
Idiot
How many Fulani's killer herdsmen have you PoliceNG arrested, that goes about with suffocated weapons maiming innocent Nigerians on a daily base.
Have you arrested the untrained youths moving around with guns employed by northern governors, to combat Fulani herdsmen in the North? Enshakai
Meanwhile yanbaga in Northern region has access to gun. One Nigeria indeed
So they will confront the killer Fulani herdsmen carrying AKs with Dane guns This has further confirmed that the guns with the herders are illegally licensed and that is why GMB and the rubber stamp NASS haven't seen any reason to probe arms procurement under Buratai till now
Fulani herdsmen carry high power rifles in plain sight without police hindrance and no legal backing is fine. State legislators should make a law that allows carrying high power rifles by the group. Each state is independent and no federal police can dictate how they rule.
but no herdsmen have bee arrested for possession of illegal fire arms...this country's a fucking joke
Army- Muslim North Airforce-Muslim North Police-Muslim North Minister of Defense-muslim North Custom- Muslim North Prison-Muslim North How Can The SW Nor SE Or SS Get Justice? Will The Amotekuns Security Use Sticks To Fight Herdsmen You guys Allowed To Dangerous Weapons?
I saw it coming, tomorrow it will be another rules
How many Fulani herdsmen have been arrested and convicted for carrying arms?
But herdsmen are ballers🙄🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I already know you will talk nonsense.. what's legal in this country Mr Police? You damn men..harassing ppl? Using POS to rob Innocent ppl? Indiscipline ppl? Lack of knowledge ppl.. Mr oga you are confuse sorry to say. Good morning 😘
Disbandment of this country is long overdue..... Just because you have fulani in power you think u intimidate the Yoruba race?
Drama
Meanwhile herdsmen carry illegal arms and no one talks about it. Nigerian's will have sense at last.
