Group makes case for Operation Amotekun’s legality

The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has appealed to the federal government to rescind its declaration that Amotekun is illegal in the overall benefit of the country.

The national public relations officer of council, Mr Bestman Okereafor,   made the appeal in a statement made available to newsmen in Enugu on Thursday.

Okereafor said the security outfit’s structure, which is from the village hunters to other known vigilance group working together in line with the Nigerian police, presented the best form of community policing.

He said Amotekun is the ideal policing framework for modern policing to checkmate emerging criminality in rural and remote communities.
