Insecurity: YWC Charges Gov Abiodun To Be Proactive In Setting Up Amotekun



The Yoruba World Congress (YWC) has called on the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun to take expedites action in setting up necessary machinery for the smooth take-off of Amotekun Corps in the state.

This was contained in a statement issued and signed by the group coordinator, Chief Jimoh Olawale Taofeek in Abeokuta the state capital.

Chief Jimoh urged Governor Abiodun to assent the Amotekun bill forwarded to him by the Ogun State House of Assembly a few months ago and as well inaugurate the board members of the security outfit with experienced persons of unquestionable character and high repute without further delay.

He explained that these will equally bring a formidable synergy between Operation Amotekun Security Outfit which her major focus is to fish out criminals from their hideouts in remote rural areas and other existing security agencies in order to curb crime in the state.

Chief Jimoh reminded the governor that “Ogun State as the gateway state is not just a mere name, considering the porosity of our borders where many can gain entrance through the bush; coupled with the high influx of able-bodied men and women that disguised in the name of Almajiris at this time of COVID 19 pandemics when Inter-State movement is highly restricted”.

While lamenting that these invaders still violate the law and invade our state indiscriminately in large numbers without clear identity to a different unknown destination, he called for greater attention, caution and proactive measures to curb the influx of strangers and their excesses.

He pointed out that “Mr. Governor as the Chief Security Officer of the State should also be alerted that only a few invaders were intercepted, noting that a greater number of undiscovered and under-covered invasions have taken place in recent time in South-Western State in general and Ogun State in particular”.

He therefore explained that perpetual vigilance and alertness are the basic guarantees of security because it is obvious that the successful invaders have not only harmful but evil mission.
