Insecurity: Why Amotekun Corps Should Be Allowed To Bear Arms - Akeredolu by teegrams(m): 2:00pm On Sep 08, 2022 |
Following the outrage that trailed the decision of the Federal Government to award a contract for the protection of pipelines in the South-South to a private security company owned by the Commander of a militant group, Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND), Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo popularly known as Tompolo, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has again explained the need for officers of the Western Nigeria Security Network codenamed Amotekun Corps to bear arms than non-state actors, saying the security of lives transcends the protection of pipelines. Akerodolu made this known in a statement released on Wednesday by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde. “Most of the people and even some of my colleagues didn’t really understand my position on the oil pipeline surveillance contract. I have no issue with the Federal Government awarding surveillance contracts to anybody. It is Federal Government’s money. They can use it anyhow they want”. “Here, we are spending our money on Amotekun. And what I said in my statement titled, ‘Who Actually Needs Weapon’ was that the Federal Government should allow Amotekun to carry sophisticated weapons like those whom they awarded pipeline surveillance contracts.” “If you can allow individuals to carry heavy arms to protect pipelines, why won’t you allow Amotekun to carry sophisticated weapons to protect the people? The oil facilities are not more important than the lives of the people,” he said. Akeredolu, who is the chairman of the South-West Governors’ Forum and the 17-member Southern Governors’ Forum, was quoted to have made the statement at the commissioning of the newly reconstructed office complex at the Ondo State Oil Producing Area Development Commission at Oba-Ile, in the Akure North Local Government Area of the state.

AKEREDOLU'S DEMAND SHOULD BE MET POSITIVELY. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD STOP PLAYING A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING. AMOTEKUN DESERVES BETTER RIGHT TO BEAR SOFISTICATED ARMS THAN TOMPOLO. |
