Amotekun will turn terrorist group – Primate Ayodele

Primate Elijah Ayodele has expressed fears that Operation Amotekun will turn out to be a terrorist group.

Amotekun was launched by Southwest leaders as a security outfit to tackle banditry and kidnappings in the region.

Commending their effort as a good idea, Primate Ayodele, however, warned against corrupting and mismanaging it.

He said, “It is a nice and beautiful idea. It is a good project but the cost of the management will cause another problem. They must ensure that the outfit is not turned to another terrorist group.

“There is a tendency of Nigeria building a terrorist group within the country and this is going to happen before the next 15 years.

“This includes all other security outfits in the north, if they are not managed properly they will turn to terrorist groups.

“They will mismanage Amotekun and corrupt the system. Amotekun is going to crack because of lack of funds for the management.

“They should not have started at all. They will threaten the government. Africa is going to experience a new terrorist group from Burkina Faso, Togo, Niger, Benin Republic, and Nigeria.

“Our security network needs to be reformed and they can’t do it alone without directives from God. Prophets are part of security checkers.”
