The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, is to meet with South-West governors over Operation Amotekun.
The six South-West governors set up the security outfit to complement the efforts of the police in tackling insecurity in the geopolitical zone.
The initiative drew mixed reactions from individuals and groups across the country. And the outfit appeared doomed to die in infancy after the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, reportedly described it as “illegal”. However, Malami has since said he was misquoted.
Amotekun got back on track after Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, Adamu and Malami met with the governors in Abuja last week over the matter.
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, who met with the IG at Force Headquarters in Abuja over Amotekun and the raging local government crisis in his state, confirmed the meeting between the South-West governors and the IG to review issues associated with the security outfit. But he did not reveal when the meeting will take place.
Makinde said South-West governors were working to get everyone to support Amotekun.
He said, “Everybody is aware of the issue with Amotekun, so we deliberated, we had an agreement in principle to have the governors of the South-West to meet with him (IG) to review the situation.
“We are trying to build a new country where the rule of law is supreme, so everybody should be law-abiding, ensure
