South West states receive bill to legalise Amotekun

The Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has taken the lead in the move by forwarding the bill to the state’s House of Assembly for passage.

While receiving the draft bill from the Ekiti State Commissioner for Justice, Wale Fapohunda, Mr Fayemi said the security network was designed to protect both indigenes and residents in the six states of the South-west. “The bill when passed into law would ensure that our highways are free of banditry, of armed robbery, of kidnapping, of all forms of brigandage and criminality in our states,” the governor said.

“Some of them had been recalling other honourable members from recess in order to give this an accelerated passage in their various legislature, so that by Friday the 14th of February, the bill that hopefully would have been passed into law would be accented to simultaneously in the six states of the Southwest.”Chief Press Secretary to the Osun State Governor, Ismail Omipitan, also confirmed that the bill had been received by the state government.

In Oyo State, the state government is likely to send the bill to the House on Wednesday, after consideration by the state executive council. He said the bill contained key provisions that spelt out the establishment of Ekiti State Security network agency, including its functions and objectives, the establishment and composition of the governing board of the agency and the establishment of Ekiti State Amotekun Corps, including power and criteria for enlistment into the corps.

It's a welcome development and the security outfit is long over due as the Federal government has failed in its one of its constitutional responsibilities. However, DAWN and the Southwest governors should let many of the Amotekun personnel be undercover security men and women..

A welcome development, NPF are over stretched, when fully legalise, it should lessen the burden of our federal police, making policing more effective. Other regions should follow suit.
