Amotekun: Hunters want personnel to meet for easy identication

As six governors in the South-West zone of the country launched a joint security

outt tagged Western Nigeria Security Network (Operation Amotekun) last

Thursday, the Soludero Hunters’ Association has called on the initiators to

organise a parley where all the personnel would meet to identify themselves.

Speaking through its National President, Oba Nureni Ajijola Anabi, the hunters

who would be one of the active members of Amotekun said the motive for

setting up the outt could be counterproductive if the personnel didn’t know

themselves.

Also, Ajijola Anabi said the six states which formed the outt should reconsider

the meagre salary of N13,500 to be paid to the members of the outt.

Anabi, while commending the six western States governors especially Engr Seyi

Makinde for providing logistics that would facilitate effective service delivery,

added that things would keep on improving after the launch.

He said, “We are happy at the proactive move of our governors. They have

shown good leadership qualities by launching the Amotekun security outt. Now,

we sleep with our two eyes closed.”

“We, the Soludero Hunters Association will do our best to ensure that the outt

remains”.

“Having launched the outt, I want a forum where all of us that would work in the

outt would meet ourselves.”

“This is very important because as of now, we don’t know ourselves and this is

very dangerous when we talk of security. This will enable us to familiarize and

know one another.”

“I heard that the Oyo state government alone purchased 33 patrol vans, while

other States donated 20 vehicles”

He used the opportunity to call on the Oyo State Governor, Engr Makinde to call a

former Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers who he

alleged has been unleashing terror on some members of another association

which is saddled with the responsibility of checking commercial motorcyclists

from carrying more than one passenger.

According to him, the leader of the union who had just been released from a

correctional centre had ordered his thugs to inict injuries on some of his people

for carrying the normal duty entrusted to them by the state government.
