Amotekun Will Not Last – Miyetti Allah

After the reactions that trailed the formation of Amotekun, Fulani socio-cultural organization, Miyetti Allah has come out to say that the group was actually formed to wipe out the Fulani tribe from the Southwest.

Leader of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, in Bauchi state, Alhaji Sadiq Ahmed, however, believes that the Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN) has no legal framework to prosper.

According to him, Amotekun does not have the potential to last since it is indigenous, regionalized and does not have any constitutional backing.

He added that Nigeria is battling serious security threat and the restructuring of the security architecture in our nation is compulsory.

His words, “I can tell you one thing, Amotekun will not last because it is indigenous, regionalized and lacks constitutional backing. The constitution has a readymade provision for regular security with the establishment of the Nigeria Police Force, a regional security outfit like Amotekun is a breach of the constitution that will only breed problems and conflicts.

”Is there a doubt anywhere that the motive behind the establishment of Amotekun is to cleanse our tribe from the Southwest? It is the responsibility of the federal government to provide security, any parallel security outfit is illegal and unacceptable.”

”I suggest that the President remove the Service Chiefs immediately because they have done nothing, despite trillions of Naira that they have received in recent years. He should also reform the Police, the Army and all other security forces in the country.

“I hear people every time try to compare Amotekun to Hizba, and that irritates me. Hizba security outfit in the North is just an umbrella of an Islamic body only meant for Islamic affairs. It bears no resemblance of Amotekun or the motive behind its formation.”
