Amotekun was set up to annihilate herdsmen from South West says Miyetti Allah

An elder statesman of the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, in Bauchi state, Alh. Sadiq Ibrahim Ahmed, has expressed doubt over the successful operation of the Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN) codenamed operation Amotekun.

He said the Nigerian constitution already made provision for a regular security with the establishment of the Police saying a regional security outfit like ‘Amotekun’ has no constitutional backing.

The elder statesman who spoke with DAILY POST in a telephone interview on Saturday, however, called for the restructuring of the security architecture in the country.

In his words ” Amotekun will not last because it is indigenous, regionalized and lacks constitutional backing, whereas Nigeria is a country governed by the constitution. The constitution had already made provision for regular security with the establishment of the Nigeria Police Force. A regional security outfit like Amotekun is just a breach of the constitution,” that is why it will not last. It will only bring problem and conflicts,” he said.

He alleged that there is a secret motive behind the establishment of Amotekun which is to cleanse the Fulani tribe in the Southwest.

”There is a motive behind the establishment which is to cleanse our tribe from the south, that’s is the agenda for its establishment. It is the objective of the government to provide security. Any parallel security outfit is unacceptable. I’m very sure Amotekun will not be recognized by law and it will never be legalized.”

Talking about the challenge of insecurity, Ahmed said the solution to insecurity is for the government to be serious.

He noted that there is a need for restructuring of the security architecture of the country especially the police force. Dailypost

Emir of Zuru, General Sani Sami reveals those sponsoring insurgents, others

The Emir of Zuru, Major General Muhammadu Sani Sami, retired, (Sami Gomo II) has said politicians who could not win elections are the ones trying to break the country into pieces.

He said President Muhammadu Buhari should be harder on those politicians who want to destroy Nigeria.

The monarch said these “evil people are doing everything possible to make Buhari fail, even calling for the removal of the service chiefs.”

“I mean, we should be very, very hard on them. We should not tolerate nonsense at all,” he told Sun.

Sami, who was commissioned into the Nigeria Army in 1963 as Second Lieutenant alongside Muhammadu Buhari, now Nigeria’s President, said many wicked politicians do not want him(Buhari) to succeed, adding that “They just want to make sure that this country breaks into pieces.”

General Sami, who served as a military Governor in Benue, Sokoto and Bauchi states at different times, said politicians should emulate Buhari who have contested elections and lost many times and despite this, remained patience before finally winning the 2015 general election, instead of fomenting troubles.

The British trained Army General, added that Nigeria don’t have enough troops on ground to fight the insurgents, adding the service chiefs should be allowed to recruit more soldiers.

“Just like I said, many wicked politicians who are out there don’t want him to succeed. They just want to make sure that this country breaks into pieces and God will not allow them.

“I think by now, they ought to have learnt from President Buhari who have contested elections and lost many times.

“Despite these losses, he exercised patience before God answered his prayers in the 2015 general election. If you lose election, why must you throw the country into crisis?

“Why must you say Nigeria must go, break into pieces? We must avoid playing dirty politics. If there is any issue in the country you are not satisfied with, let us embrace dialogue, discussions; going to British Council, USA would not solve our problems. The solution to our problem is within Nigeria and among Nigerians.

“We should be harder on these people who want to destroy Nigeria. I mean, we should be very, very hard on them. We should not tolerate nonsense at all.

According to him, every good thinking Nigerian should be worried about the spate of insecurity in the country. Dailypost
