Both Ondo and Oyo State Governors, Rotimi Akeredolu and Seyi Makinde respectively, have kicked against the plan of the Federal Government to control Amotekun and subsume the Amotekun corps into the planned community policing of the Federal Government.
Governor Seyi Makinde also said, “At Okeho the other day, armed robbers went and rob a bank but thankfully the community rose to the occasion and they assisted to apprehend those people and they combed the forest and that is why I will continue to say and I am saying it for the whole world to hear that Amotekun is here to stay with us and it will not be under the control of the Federal establishment. It will be under our control.
“Security of our people is extremely important and nothing can take place as far as we are concern in an atmosphere of insecurity and Oyo state is a very large area.”
