Miyetti Allah Reacts to the Establishment of Amotekun

The Miyetti Allah cattle breeders association has reacted to the establishment of the Amotekun regional security outfit by Nigeria’s  South West governors.

The Fulani socio-cultural organization alleges that the aim of the security group is ‘to cleanse the Fulani tribe from the Southwest.’

Speaking on behalf Miyetti Allah, the Bauchi State leader, Alhaji Sadiq Ahmed said that in as much as the nation’s security architecture needs an overhaul, Amotekun, lacks the legal framework to succeed.

In his words, “I can tell you one thing, Amotekun will not last because it is indigenous, regionalized and lacks constitutional backing.”

“The constitution has a ready-made provision for regular security with the establishment of the Nigeria Police Force. A regional security outfit like Amotekun is a breach of the constitution that will only breed problems and conflicts.”

“I hear people every time try to compare Amotekun to Hizba, and that irritates me. Hizba security outfit in the North is just an umbrella of an Islamic body only meant for Islamic affairs. It bears no resemblance of Amotekun or the motive behind its formation,”

“Is there a doubt anywhere that the motive behind the establishment of Amotekun is to cleanse our tribe from the Southwest? It is the responsibility of the federal government to provide security, any parallel security outfit is illegal and unacceptable.”

The Bauch State Miyetti Allah leader then advocated for the removal of Service Chiefs. In his opinion, the nation’s service chiefs have performed poorly.

According to him, “I suggest that the President remove the Service Chiefs immediately because they have done nothing, despite trillions of Naira that they have received in recent years. He should also reform the Police, the Army and all other security forces in the country.”
