FFK slams FG for declaring Amotekun illegal but allowing Hisbah Police

Femi Fani-Kayode Femi Fani-Kayode

Femi Fani-Kayode, FFK, has reacted after the Federal Government declared the Amotekun Operation in Southwest illegal.

In a post he shared on Facebook, the former minister of aviation wondered why Hisbah Police in the North West and Civilian Joint Task Force in the North East are seen as legal while Amotekun is illegal to the Federal Government.

'Hisbah Police in North West is ok. Civilian Joint Task Force in North West is ok. Civilian Joint Task Force in North East is ok.

Meanwhile IPOB in South East are terrorists and Amotekun in South West is illegal!

One day Nigerians will get tired of this bullshit, get sense and free themselves from this insufferable bondage.

The bitter truth is that what the Federal Government has done by claiming that Amotekun is illegal is to strengthen the hand and harden the resolve of the more radical and forceful elements and the more extreeme nationalist forces in the South West who have always challenged the erroneous notion, flawed logic and questionable assumption that the unity of Nigeria is not only settled but also sacrosanct.

If you say that we cannot defend ourselves and our people from tribal and religious bigots, ethnic cleansers, genocidal maniacs, barbarous savages, bloodthirsty jihadists, blood-lusting terrorists, racial supremacists and cold-blooded mass murderers simply because we are southerners then to hell with your Nigerian unity", he wrote.

This is coming after the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, declared the security outfit illegal. According to him, no law in Nigeria backs it.
