Amotekun confusion as agf disagrees with vp south west governors
It seems like there's a developing story in Nigeria!
For those who may not be aware, "Amotekun" is a security outfit established by the South-West governors to combat rising insecurity in the region. The outfit is made up of volunteers from the six states in the South-West, who are trained to provide security services to their communities.
Recently, there has been a controversy surrounding the legality of Amotekun, with some arguing that it is unconstitutional. The Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, has been at the center of this controversy, stating that Amotekun is not a legal entity and that its activities are illegal.
However, the Vice President of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo, has disagreed with the AGF's stance, saying that Amotekun is a legitimate security outfit that is necessary to address the security challenges in the South-West.
The South-West governors, who are the sponsors of Amotekun, have also come out to defend the outfit, saying that it is a necessary response to the growing insecurity in their region.
The disagreement between the AGF and the VP has sparked a heated debate in Nigeria, with many people taking sides on the issue. Some have argued that Amotekun is a necessary response to the security challenges in the South-West, while others have raised concerns about the potential for the outfit to be used for political or ethnic purposes.
It's worth noting that the controversy surrounding Amotekun has also raised questions about the role of the federal government in providing security to the states, and whether the states have the right to establish their own security outfits.
What do you think about the Amotekun controversy? Do you think it's a necessary response to the security challenges in the South-West, or do you have concerns about its legality and potential impact?
