The UN also said the decision was influenced by the recognition of Amotekun’s outstanding role in combating crime across the southwest region of the country.
This was contained in a statement released in Akure, the Ondo state capital and signed by Adetunji Adeleye, state commander of Amotekun.
The statement said the affiliation was made known at the Amotekun headquarters in Akure by Ambassador Dr. Markwili Mgbara, Director of Information and Communications of the International Association of World Peace Advocates.
According to the statement, Mgbara said the affiliation certificate was issued under the auspices of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) consultative status and the International Association of World Peace Advocacy.
“Ondo Amotekun is the first state-owned security agency that has gained a peculiar international affiliation with the United Nations in saving lives.
