Amotekun (or The South West Security Network), has since commenced operations in all the six states in Yourubaland

A communiqué signed by Adams stated that contrary to fears in certain quarters, the outfit will complement the security architecture of the region and the nation at large.


The council said the sole aim was to secure lives and property of the people following several attack by kidnappers, robbers, among other outlaws.
