Youths protest alleged politicing of operation Amotekun

Youths from the six states of the south west geopolitical zone on Tuesday stormed the street of Ado-Ekiti to protest the inherent dangers operation Amotekun portends.

Leader of the protesters Adeshina Animasaun said Amotekun has been hijacked by those nursing ambition for 2023 elections.

Animasaun appealed to president Muhammadu Buhari to restructure the country’s security architecture to prevent resurgence of what he called militia groups with tendencies to pose dangers to the lives and property of the people.

The protesters urged the initiators of operation Amotekun to take note of the warnings issued by attorney general and minister of justice, Abubakar Malami, about the hazards inherent in operation Amotekun security networks.

The protest was coming barely twenty-four hours the bill for the establishment of operation Amotekun was signed into law by the state governor, Kayode Fayemi.
