Amotekun bill scales second reading at ogun assembly
It appears that the Amotekun bill has scaled through its second reading at the Ogun State House of Assembly. Here's a brief summary:
The Amotekun bill, also known as the Western Nigeria Security Network (WSN) bill, was introduced to the Ogun State House of Assembly by the Speaker, Olakunle Oluomo, on behalf of the Governor, Dapo Abiodun. The bill aims to establish a security network in the state, similar to the one already operational in Oyo State, to combat insecurity and protect lives and property.
During the second reading, the bill was debated by members of the House, who expressed their support for the initiative. Some members commended the Governor for taking the bold step to address the security challenges facing the state, while others raised concerns about the potential implications of the bill on the existing security architecture in the state.
After the debate, the bill was referred to the House Committee on Security and Justice for further scrutiny and report. The committee is expected to review the bill and make recommendations to the House before it is sent to the Governor for assent.
The passage of the Amotekun bill at the Ogun State House of Assembly is a significant development in the state's efforts to address insecurity and improve the overall security situation. It is expected to provide a framework for the establishment of a robust security network that will work in tandem with other security agencies to protect the people and property of Ogun State.
