INSECURITY: LET AMOTEKUN BEAR ARMS, AFENIFERE TELLS FG
The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, yesterday, advocated for the licensing of Amotekun personnel in the South West to carry lethal weapons to tackle insecurity.
The group in a communique after its meeting held in Akure, the country home of its national leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, expressed concern over the influx of bandits.
The communique by its National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, said that granting of license “can be done preparatory to the setting up of State Police.”
It reads: “Afenifere advocated for the licensing of states’ security networks code-named Amotekun in Yoruba-speaking states to carry lethal weapons.
“This can be done preparatory to the setting up of State Police.
“Afenifere also called for greater cooperation between Amotekun corps and other security agencies.
“Command and Control posts should be installed across all the local government areas so that information can be shared in real-time as is done in many developed and not-so-developed countries.”
On the high cost of food items, the group “urged states and local governments to make things easy for local farmers by providing them with needed resources – even at subsidized rates.
“This will not only make foodstuffs more available; it will also enhance the council’s finances and boost the local economy.”
