Amotekun is battle won against imperial fg says afenifere
A interesting development!
According to reports, Afenifere, a Yoruba socio-political group, has declared that the establishment of Amotekun, a regional security outfit in the South-West region of Nigeria, is a "battle won against the imperial Federal Government".
Afenifere, which has been a vocal critic of the Federal Government's perceived marginalization of the Yoruba people, has been a key proponent of the Amotekun initiative. The group has argued that the outfit is necessary to protect the people of the South-West region from banditry, kidnapping, and other forms of insecurity.
In a statement issued by its spokesperson, Yinka Odumakin, Afenifere said that the establishment of Amotekun is a significant victory for the Yoruba people and a blow to the Federal Government's attempts to impose its authority on the region.
"We are proud to announce that the battle has been won against the imperial Federal Government," Odumakin said. "The establishment of Amotekun is a victory for the Yoruba people and a blow to the Federal Government's attempts to impose its authority on our region."
Afenifere's statement comes on the heels of a recent Supreme Court ruling that upheld the legality of Amotekun, dismissing a lawsuit filed by the Federal Government challenging the outfit's establishment.
The development is seen as a significant boost to the morale of the Amotekun operatives and a testament to the determination of the Yoruba people to protect their region and their way of life.
