The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has hailed the newly-inaugurated South-West Security Network codenamed ‘Operation Amotekun’, saying it will promote community policing in the zone.
A Chieftain of the forum, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, who disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday, expressed backing for the establishment of the agency.
He added that the inauguration of ‘Amotekun’ should be praised because it will complement the efforts of the Federal Government to protect lives and property of Nigerians.
His words, “I am an advocate of community policing. If I now come out to condemn the inauguration of ‘Amotekun’ in the South-West, that will be counter-productive.
“So, I commend the initiative and I will encourage citizens to cooperate with the system to ensure effective operations, which certainly will bring about secured society.”
