AMOTEKUN FILLING SECURITY GAP, RESTORING RELATIVE PEACE, SAYS AKEREDOLU
NEWS - Posted on: 5th Nov. 2021 at 3:59PM
Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, of Ondo State has on Thursday revealed that Amotekun Corps (Western Nigeria Security Network Agency) which was formed to fill in the vacuum created in the overstretched conventional police of the state are perfectly effecting its duty.
He made this statement on his Facebook page via a statement as he hosted the participants of Course 30 of the National Defence College, Abuja, led by the Commandant, Rear Admiral Oladele Daji at the Cocoa Conference Hall of the Governor’s office, adding that the Amotekun has brought peace to the state.
The Governor reiterates, “So, we must make sure we tackle it. You kidnap to the extent that you killed a first class monarch; this is very bad. As a government, we owe it a duty to secure the lives and property of our people.”
The statement read, “The Governor insisted that no genuine herders would graze his herds of cow with AK-47, just as he said any herder who destroys any farmland in the state would be made to pay compensation to the affected farmer.
“He also added that Amotekun Corps is now engaging in road patrol to further ensure the security of lives and property of all residents across the state.
“Governor Akeredolu also said many states in the country have signed Anti-Open Grazing laws to protect the people and their means of livelihood, just as he insisted that the issue of grazing routes would not work in the country because the country can no longer continue to live in the past.
“He stressed that the country needed a multi-levelled policing with special attention to state police to effectively secure the lives and property of the citizens.
“Earlier, the Commandant, National Defence College, Abuja, Rear Admiral Oladele Daji, who lauded the Governor for his security and industrial strides recorded so far, expressed confidence that the products of the participants’ research would go a long way to assist in policy inputs towards delivery of good governance and ensure security of the state.
“He particularly applauded the Governor for the way he handled the issue of farmers/herders clashes in the state to ensure peaceful coexistence between farmers and herders.”
