The Coalition of Northern Youths has said that Operation Shege Ka Fasa was started in reaction to Operation Amotekun.

The group's spokesman, Alhaji Abdul Aziz Suleiman stated that the government had failed in protecting the people which is why different security outfits are springing up.

Suleiman stated that regional security is a child of necessity because the government had failed in its duty.

“Nobody can say that there is no relation between Amotekun and our initiative. You see Amotekun came up as a necessity in order to protect the Southwest against killings,” he told the Sun.

“The reality is that when they [Amotekun] are able to flush out the hoodlums they [hoodlums] are going to come to the North.

“So Shege Ka Fasa is literally a direct reaction to Amotekun, but not a negative one. We welcome it.”

He added that Shege Ka Fasa was set up to protect the north just as Amotekun was set up to protect the Southwest.

“What we are saying about state police and community policing is the sincerity of government,” he added.

“Everybody wants security, peace and order. If the government had done what it is supposed to do nobody will think of floating regional security outfit,” he said.
