In the communiqué read by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Yinka Odumakin, Afenifere, urged the Southwest governors to ensure that Amotekun does not operate like existing convention security agencies, but it should only have defined areas of cooperation with the Federal Government’s security agencies.

The Yoruba group, which commended the Southwest governors for their uncommon courage over Amotekun issue, enjoined Senate President Ahmed Lawan to match his support for multi-level policing with actions.

The group also urged the Inspector General of Police, Muhammed Adamu to prevent political unrest in Oyo State over the forceful reinstatement of sacked local government chairmen, advising all parties to allow the court to determine the matter.
