Amotekun Corps Will Be Armed In Accordance With The Law – Akeredolu Insists

Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has insisted that Ondo State Security Network Agency, code-named Amotekun Corps, will be armed in accordance with the law.

“The Ondo State Security Network Agency, code-named Amotekun Corps, will be armed in accordance with the law since, in the absence of such, the training would be insufficient and the lives of great patriots will be in danger, and the ground-breaking platform will make sure that Ondo State’s citizens and natives actually become their brothers’ guardians, ” Oluwarotimi Akeredolu said.

This is just as a security surveillance app was unveiled by the governor at the passing out parade for the Course 3 and 4 Amotekun Corps.

In a statement, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu claimed that the security monitoring app would turn millions of cellphones into state security cameras, enabling people to report bad or subpar services received from the government, institutions, or facilities.

“It will be a tech-based neighbourhood watchman/whistleblower platform where citizens can report a crime in real-time to alert all security agencies for immediate action,” it stated.

Oluwarotimi Akeredolu emphasised that his administration would continue to support the state security agencies’ operational capability by supplying equipment and ensuring the welfare of their personnel.

The passing out ceremony, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu added, served as a reminder of the need to come up with a strategy and address the current security situation, which had been allowed to become an existential catastrophe throughout Nigeria, he alleged.

“The South Western Nigeria Security Network, Amotekun Corps, as a response, is now not just the first line of defence, but the ultimate bulwark in the protection of a way of life and civilisation.

“On our part, we will continue to support the operational capacity of all security agencies in the state both in terms of equipment and the welfare of their personnel,” Oluwarotimi Akeredolu said.
