Shettima, Arewa Youths Backs Amotekun Says, The North Should Get Ready

The National President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, has declared his full support of the joint security task force by the southwest states known as Amotekun.

Shettima while in an interview with newsmen disclosed that Amotekun was necessitated as a result the security challenges the nation was facing.

Shettima said that rather than dismissing Amotekun as illegal and vilifying the Southwest governors for their ingenuity in setting up the security outfit, the federal government should team up with the governors and ensure the workability of the new outfit.

“Shettima said: I am a strong supporter of community policing given the state of insecurity in Nigeria particularly in the northern part of the country and I believe that Amotekun is a right step in the right direction which should be supported by all well-meaning Nigerians.

“As far as I am concerned the North should get ready to start its own version of Amotekun in order to be able to tackle the rising wave of insecurity in the region. It is only when one is alive that there could be governance.

“The situation is clear and simple: If the state cannot protect and defend its citizens the people must find a way to protect themselves,” the youth leader contended.
