Sincerely speaking nothing stopped us from having regional police but abuse of this police is a great concer as incumbent govt may misuse them for their personal gains

The Ebonyi State Government on Monday said it was the brainchild of Operation Amotekun security outfit in the South-West that was launched by governors in the region last week.

It said governors in the South-West region ‘stole’ the security idea from it, saying, “When the Governor of Kano State, muted something about this kind of security architecture in the South, recently,” he was referring to the South-East geo-political zone, in particular.

According to the State Government, until the launch of Operation Amotekun, last week, governors and leaders of the South-East zone, had had elaborate and far-reaching security meetings on how to curtail insecurity in the region, saying the South-West zone only ‘borrowed’ a leap from its South-East counterpart, in its establishment.

The Commissioner for Internal Security and Border Peace, Mr Stanley Emegha, stated this in a telephone interview with our Correspondent, in Abakaliki, on Monday.

Emegha, who disclosed that governors and leaders of the zone, last year, appointed Gen. Obi Umahi, to coordinate the security architecture of the region, added that much was being done to mitigate all forms of insecurity in the land.

According to him, by the end of January, the security efforts and plan of the region would have been made clearer. He added that the creation of the Ministry of Homeland Security, in Abia State, was one of the moves being made by stakeholders, to reduce crimes in the zone.

“The launch of Amotekun in the Southwest is what is already in vogue in Ebonyi State, in particular, and South-East, in general. This is so because traces of insecurity like kidnapping, car- snatching, armed robbery, etc are no longer found in Ebonyi State.

“The actual region the Governor of Kano was talking about for this security initiative, is the South-East, not the Southwest. What they have done is they have just copied what is already in existence in Ebonyi. This kind of security strategy is being put in place and has been made possible by the South-East Security Consultant, Gen. Obi Umahi (retd). But we have been silent about it because we are waiting to launch at the right time.

“Security as a technical endeavour, and that was why many efforts of governors of the zone in this regard, had not been made public. Security is a very serious thing. No dull person can be a criminal. Those who go into criminality are smart and intelligent persons. So we downplay what we do because we don’t want those we are targeting or fighting to cash in on our strategies.

“This is why we don’t disclose some of the things we put in place, in order not to create room for the criminals to strike. Currently, all the happenings in virtual all the Discos in Abakaliki metropolis, are monitored in our server room. Nobody knew when we mounted those cameras and CCTVs.”

Shut up.

Before this'Amotekun' brohaha Ebonyi had already set up a security apparatus called Neighborhood watch...but like the commissioner says "criminals are very smart and you don't have to disclose all ur security affairs to appear smart thereby shooting yourself on the leg"

Umahi is a very smart gov.

Give us the name of the so called movies. Are theatre plays what you call movies?
Living in bondage is officially the first nollywood home movie. Lo gba research!

Yoruba are the pioneers of Nollywood...

The first film produced on video in Nigeria was 1988's Soso Meji, produced by Ade Ajiboye. The film was also screened at the few available theatres at the time. Subsequently, Alade Aromire produced Ekun (1989) on video, which was screened at the National Theatre, Iganmu.

Dude you were conquered and colonized by Fulani, just like the British name Nigeria so did fulani named you Yoruba/Yoruba.. The also gave you a religion(Islam).. Till date still controls traditionally significant part of your land illorin

When talking of colonization those conquered and colonized by Igala, then later sold into slavery by Ijaw should keep quiet.

We sold people, we sold people, ...who is Ibo? Ibo is our slaves! We sold people!
-Mujahideen Asari Dokubo.

Nothing special about the security arrangement.
Simply, the man is mad. He just wanted to say something.

OPC has been there forever helping to curb insecurity in their own way.
Fayose as governor used hunters a lot to secure his state.

So what is so big idea combining the two to assist police to face the insecurity.

I remember, opc has been saying it for long that they were ready to assist in fighting the insecurity.

He said their plan was hatched in 2017. You want facts?

Here is your fact..Yoruba has been doing security network since 2016. Ahead of any Ibo initiative. You copied Yoruba.

While AMOTEKUN has been praised by everyone and even some regions looking forward to replicate it. Like NW governors will be meeting with SW to understudy it.

Our blothers in East are concerned whose idea it was.


Tell them the idea originated in Lagos under Ambode.

GOOD.
