Following the declaration by the Attorney General of the Federation, Mr Abubakar Malami, SAN, that Operation Amotekun was illegal, governors from the six South West states have concluded arrangements to meet with President, Muhammadu Buhari over the Federal Government’s declaration of the Operation Amotekun, as illegal.
According to reports, certain elements within the Presidency and the police high command are not favourably disposed to the regional outfit because they consider it as part of restructuring agenda which the South-West has been clamoring for.
It would be recalled that before the launch, Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, who is also the Chairman of the Governors’ Forum, had met the Inspector General of Police, Mohammad Adamu.
The idea to set up the security outfit was conceived by the South-West governors, monarchs and other stakeholders, at a meeting in June last year following series of killings and kidnapping in the zone.
