Just in gov fayemi signs amotekun bill into law
That's great news! Just in: Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State has signed the Amotekun Bill into law. This is a significant development in the fight against insecurity in the country.
For those who may not know, Amotekun is a regional security outfit established by the South-West governors to combat kidnapping, banditry, and other forms of criminality in the region.
The signing of the bill into law is a major boost to the efforts of the South-West governors to ensure the safety and security of their citizens. It also shows that the governors are committed to working together to address the security challenges facing the region.
The Amotekun Bill was passed by the Ekiti State House of Assembly in December 2020, and its signing into law by Governor Fayemi is a major milestone in the implementation of the security outfit.
It's worth noting that the signing of the bill into law is not without controversy. Some critics have raised concerns about the legality and constitutionality of the Amotekun Bill, arguing that it is a violation of the powers of the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigerian Army.
However, the South-West governors have maintained that Amotekun is a necessary response to the security challenges facing the region, and that it is not intended to replace the Nigeria Police Force or the Nigerian Army, but rather to complement their efforts.
Overall, the signing of the Amotekun Bill into law by Governor Fayemi is a significant development in the fight against insecurity in the country, and it is hoped that it will lead to improved security and safety for the people of Ekiti State and the South-West region as a whole.
