The Federal Government on Tuesday said that the setting up of Amotekun paramilitary organization by the governors of the South-West is illegal and runs contrary to the provisions of the Nigerian law.
“It is a Federation of states with the Federal Government superintending over matters of national interest. According to him, “The Second Schedule in Item 17 deals with defence and this is a matter that is within the exclusive operational competence of the Federal Government of Nigeria. “As a consequence of this, no State Government, whether singly or in a group has the legal right and competence to establish any form of organization or agency for the defence of Nigeria or any of its constituent parts.
Rubbish
You meant by Fulani Government (FG). That is a free license to people to defend themselves against d killers.
Who else noticing one strong leading political party leader from the same southwest hasn't comment on this 'Amotekun' since it was inaugurated...All na plan work with FG
They will fail, insecurity in south west must be tackle, since Federal apparatus has failed to do the needful.
Having declared Amotekun illegal, how does the FG plan to tackle the grave security challenges that compelled the South West states to create that outfit? FG's efforts has been insufficient and ineffective so far in tackling kidnapping and herdsmen destruction of farms.
