FG's declaration of Amotekun illegal: What it implies

The Federal Government has declared ‘Operation Amotekun’ as an illegal outfit.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Special Assistant, Media and Public Relations (Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice), Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu.

“The setting up of the paramilitary organization called “Amotekun” is illegal and runs contrary to the provisions of the Nigerian law,” the statement read

The security body was recently launched by the governors of the South-West states to tackle kidnapping and other criminal activities in the zone.

The implications of declaring illegal a move by the South West to end insecurity is that the FG is really not too concerned with protecting the lives of the people.
