Activities of the recently launched Western Nigeria Security Network, codenamed “Operation Amotekun”, must not be politicised but a political solution should be used by the federal government and other stakeholders to resolve any issue around the outfit.

This is the submission of stakeholders in Ondo state including traditional rulers and opinion leaders who spoke with Radio Nigeria’s correspondent, Leke Adegbite and they advised that a security summit should be convened to address the issue.
