Soyinka to FG: Amotekun has come to stay - The Nation Newspaper

Soyinka, however, warned President Muhammadu Buhari over actions that would lead the country to the point of irreversible division, stating the current security concerns has given birth to the organisation in the country. He decried numerous killings of people in the villages across the southwest. Soyinka urged the proponents of Amotekun to defy the Attorney General and go ahead with their operation, challenging the CJN to go to court if he has any objection.

“I have always been believed passionately in self-policing. If it were possible to eliminate any kind of formal policing, I am for it. My preference is always, as much as possible, for community policing,” he said.
