The Executive Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu on Tuesday inaugurated Operation Amotekun in the State. The initiative is the Security Network Agency put in place by the south west governors to combat the security challenges facing the region.
The governor expressed confidence that Amotekun Corps would be a true picture of the Yoruba bravery and complement the efforts of the existing security agencies.
”It is incontrovertible that the existing security framework is being overstretched and we had to devise a means of confronting the challenge of insecurity head-on. That was when the concept of Amotekun came up. As Yorubas, we are not known to surrender to our adversaries and if our forebears did not, we should not."
Akeredolu also emphasized that the Amotekun Corps inauguration has nothing to do with his second term ambition, but purely to boost the security system of the State and restore the people's confidence to moving freely within and outside Ondo State.
