Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere has described those who said they are afraid of the Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN) aka Operation Amotekun as criminals.
The spokesman of the organisation, Mr. Yinka Odumakin stated that only those troubling the Southwest should be afraid of the establishment of Amotekun.
Odumakin also assured those who are not criminals not to be troubled by the establishment of Amotekun.
Featuring on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, the Afenifere spokesperson explained that Amotekun was for the protection of the ordinary people within the Southwest.
“Those who are afraid are criminals troubling the Southwest,” Odumakin maintained.
Odumakin also contended that security was not on the Exclusive List as we are being made to believe, adding that security was the responsibility of every Nigerian citizen.
Stressing that there is no hidden agenda for setting up of Operation Amotekun, saying that the security outfit was to “secure lives and property, to aid the police where the police have failed, to fill in the gap”.
The National Secretary of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore group, Hassan Al-Saleh had disclosed on Tuesday that they fear Amotekun because their members carrying out their economic business in the Southwest would be the target.
