“When Amotekun was established, the Police thought it came to take over their jobs but we have been able to streamline between Amotekun and other security agencies and they are now working together in unity.

“I want to say it again that no administration, in the history of Oyo State, had committed more resources to the issue of security than this administration. We have the emergency contact number, 615.”
