Amotekun: Intentions of Southwest governors are good - Buhari regime

Operation Amotekun Operation Amotekun

Despite the Buhari regime describing Operation Amotekun as illegal, the Minister of Police Affairs, Maigari Dingyadi, has stated that the intentions of the governors of Southwest in setting it up are good.

Dingyadi who spoke to newsmen in Sokoto, however, stated that national security is bestowed on the Federal Government by the Nigerian constitution.

He said: “The intentions of the South West governors are good. However, some people have expressed fears on the regional security force.

“Security is an exclusive responsibility of the Federal Government being supported at times by state governments and other organisations.

“If operation Amotekun differs from the support being rendered by state governments to the Federal Government on security matters, then it is unconstitutional.”
