Amotekun: South-West govs’ intentions good but unconstitutional, Police affairs minister

The Minister of Police Affairs, Alhaji Maigari Dingyadi, says the intentions of South-West governors for establishing Amotekun are good but the constitution bestowed the responsibility of national security on the Federal Government.

NAN quoted Dingyadi as speaking during an interview with newsmen in Sokoto.

The minister, who said the police were doing well in tackling the menace of kidnapping in all forms, enjoined Nigerians to support them in order to ensure maximum success in that regard.

Commenting on the South-West security outfit codenamed "Operation Amotekun”, Dingyadi said, "The intentions of the Southwest governors are good. However, some people have expressed fears about the regional security force.

”Security is an exclusive responsibility of the Federal Government being supported at times by state governments and other organisations.

”If Operation Amotekun differs from the support being rendered by state governments to the Federal Government on security matters, then it is unconstitutional,” Dingyadi stated.

He said that the border closure by the Federal Government had yielded results.

Dingyadi further stated that the police would perform efficiently if the military personnel were withdrawn from areas affected by insurgency, saying that managing internal security was their primary responsibility.

I didn’t realize we have a minister of police affairs until now. Don’t think I ever heard anything from him concerning some criminal elements in the NPF that derives joy and some form of fulfillment by abusing the rights of the citizens they were meant to protect.

They are now adjusting with " but " .
Do you knw that Northerners takes the Southern part of Nigeria as conquered territory.For them to be shouting as if somebody dies goes to show their greatest fear which is separation.
If it happens the North will worse ecomically than South Sudan.
The Yorubas shld sit up and call for restructuring.
Restructuring has always been our idea and agitation from time immemorial before Tinubu came and betrayed our leaders. What the federal government is doing to him and his loyalists appointed into various offices removed unceremoniously serves him right naw. He used to be at the forefront of restructuring, not knowing he had a hidden agenda and selfish interest.

Whether they like it or not, on amotekun we stand.

I really do not know why the northerners are shaken by the establishment of these group. Their continual outcry is only establishing a fact that there is something sinister going on and are scared that the south-west are already gearing up to defend themselves through Amotekun. With all these going on, it is advisable for other regions to emulate this let them don't me caught unawares.

It's all about what Obasanjo alleged: Fulanization and Islamization. An effective regional security system will prevent them from carrying out their evil agenda.

Regional Amotekun is purely Illegal until the right thing is done.

Visit the constitution , and restructure every and also insert referendum in it.

While you've got a nice point, don't forget that some states already have their security outfits funded by the government and are not seen as illegal. Basically, Amotekun is almost like that, difference is SW governors came together and set it up...From the way I see it, this will set in motion Regional policing or state police.


The country cannot be restructured because the way the country is structured wouldn't allow for such. Restructuring, true federalism and state police have been proposed on many occasions but the north being the majority will not allow them to stand. Why do you think that the recommendations of the Jonathan's national conference are yet to be implemented. But when it is Shari'a, they will quickly stamp it.

The north takes everyone for a fool and it is high time this nonsense stop. The north is pulling us back. Every good recommendation is instantly rejected.

Fulani now thinks they own the British zoo called Nigeria.but how can a man in Abuja be responsible for security in Lagos under the name aig of police? They Fulani's don't understand what is democracy because is not their way of life.they grew up living and behaving like cows ,they never run an economy nor built anything,have you seen or heard about any fulani doctors, scientists,any where in the world? Then how can you expect them being so primitive to understand what's called a federate states.if the zoo is really practicing a federate state then region should be responsible for their security because real government are locall government.crimes are being committed locally

Constitutionally Amotekun is illegal
better set up something similar before edo is fully infiltrated by herdsmen and criminals. My experience last Thursday along Benin bypass expressway wasnt a palatable one. Our vehicle had to stop and joined 100s of other parked vehicles because nobody could near them. There was a police checkpoint a few miles away but they couldn't near these criminals. I urge you put politics aside because your region is fast becoming the north east. Last month, professor adesiyan ( a professor of paediatrics) was killed by the same herdsmen on his way back from Ambrose Ali university to oauthc where he went to supervise in a medical exam. We only heard of his case because he was an eminent personnel. How about the common man falling victims daily ?

Up to the point of Cownu promising Amoteks 1 million members.
Which sane Government will support that?

Anything that FFK and Cownu come out to support will always end in failure.
This has happened many times prior now.
FACTS speak for itself.
We really hope so.
We hope you dont let these craze men infiltrate into Amoteks.
The supporter of evil they are.


Amoteks started having ish when these 2 criminals (FFK and Cownu) joined their Voice to them.
#ThatsAll
They should say no to charlatans who are only good in supporting evil.

The founder should stand for themselves and get their acts together and watch Amoteks stand and bring succour to their region.

If they need any regional security, they should first of all push for constitutional amendment where security will be shifted to regions infact full restructuring.

So let them follow the right step and push for restructuring through constitutional amendment and insertion of referendum in the constitution.

If not so, then Amotekun is a nuisance and must be treated as such.
push for restructuring how? the north have the majority in the national assembly, why will they agree to remove food from their mouth? if region control resources how is the core northern region going to get hard currency to do what the federal government is currently doing?
