A civil society organization, the Societal Safety Network, SSN, has warned governors of the South-West states against endangering the lives of Yoruba people living in other parts of the country, with their resolve to operate a security outfit called Amotekun.

The group at a world press conference in Abuja said though the increasing spate of insecurity was worrisome; launching a security outfit with the imprint of regional coloration does not augur well for a federal state like Nigeria.

This is even as it called on the governors to devote a substantial part of their security votes to assist security agencies to tackle crime and criminality in the land.

Addressing journalists on the matter, SSN Executive Director, Abdulrahman Agboola stressed the importance of collaborating with police formations, as against the constitution of new security outfits to combat all forms of criminality in the country.

“We seriously frown against insecurity in Nigeria but to play politics with the security of the people is highly mischievous. Police stations and correctional centres in the South-West have many criminals and suspects of Yoruba descents, serving jail terms and those under trial for different heinous crimes, which is to state that criminals have no tribes or ethnicity.

We fear that if Amotekun is misunderstood as targeting a particular ethnic group, this will expose Yorubas living in other parts of the country to dangers with predicted reprisal attacks as history recorded during past ethnic clashes.

“The country does not currently operate a regional government and the declaration of a regional security outfit is an aberration that should not ordinarily attract stoppage of security votes by the federal government and except individual states begin to display proof of judicious usage of the security votes, the present circumstances could remain unabated,” Agboola said.

Expressing fears of increasing security threats in the event that Amotekun is allowed to take off, Agboola had this to say: “During the hullabaloo on the Amotekun debacle, the South-East governors were charged by their kinsmen to follow the suit and prepare for a launch of similar platform while the North Central held a security summit and voices arose from the North West and North East demanding for the conveyance of similar security network in their geopolitical zones,” he said even as he called on Nigerians of all walks of life to do everything possible to make the country work.

Kilode gan gan?

What exactly is the problem with these people and Amotekun?

Se won bi somi meja ni?

So because of fear of what they will do to Yorubas in other parts of Nigeria, the Yorubas at home should be killed abi?

Una don dey mad.

Let the Yorubas in other parts of Nigeria go back home if they don't feel safe where they are.

Thank God, Yorubas hardly travel North or Eastwards so...

It cant be more than fulani civil society groupt

Yorubas are only in Yoruba land, they are not like the wandering tribe of the east.

The way people from other tribes have been talking about Amotekun, you'll think that Amotekun is being set up to kill non Yorubas without asking questions.

truth be told, a Yoruba man has nothing to wander off to in the north or south east.. yorubas move to UK or US for greener pastures


.

We are always considerate that's why we are accomodative

I just dey pity this people called fulanis, especially the herdsmen. They will eventually break this country into pieces and it will make them an endanger species.

What I know about my nation , that they might not be dangerous because of religion or money or position but when it comes to land and territory it is a different ball game. A plot of land can cause war, lets be guided pls!

charity begins at home

Who are these people self, mtchewwww

Its only a criminal that runs when no one is chasing. Amotekun everywhere and its not yet operational. Hmmm God help us all.

why are these stup*d Fulani people this agitated about Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn issue? When did it become a crime for people to take action to safeguard their lives and properties. These idiots are only making it glaring to the whole world they know what's being happening all the while and are in full support or their kinsmen wreckless behavior. Is anyone stopping them from forming similar thing, if Yorubas in the North are constituting nuisance as their irrational kinsmen down South they should be brought to justice. Finding the courage to checkmate their excesses and menace which they are not willing to give up just yet as they are bent on terrorizing every corner of the nation is the obvious reason for their grouse with Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn and whether they like it or not Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn is here to stay.

Are they specifically referring to Yoruba women outside Yorubaland? Many or some of who are married to non Yorubas.

port harcourt is south south and we have ijaws and yoruboid there

WITH THAT BEEN SAID, THE SW GOVERNORS SHOULD TRY TO GET ASSURANCE FROM THEIR COLLEAGUES IN THE NORTH FOR THE SAFETY OF SOUTH WESTERNERS AND THEIR PROPERTIES IN THE NORTH.

Only a murderer will be against Amotekun.

One bastard Yoruba sighted. A child of a thousand fathers. His mother was a street hooker. AMOTEKUN is coming to consume you and your worthless family.

If it smells like a herdsman then it is a herdsman. Lol.
Fulanis hate to be resisted. They're cowards who only attack when you least expect them. This is why they've been crying against Amotekun.

Fulanis are cowards when it comes to face to face combat. That's why they're fine with raiding unarmed villagers.
Attacking unarmed people is what cowards do.

Ijaws are indigenous, unlike Yorubas , so why the wandering away from the West

Amotekun is not against any tribe, race or religion rather it is against criminals irrespective of race,tribe or religion. Yoruba are known to be accommodating.

I know you have never traveled out of that slum Ibadan that's why you don't know the population of Yoruba's in the north especially kano , plateau, abuja

Besides that how about the Yoruba's in kogi kwara and Edo?
