Former Governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Alao-Akala, has faulted the decision of the South-West governors in appointing retired military officers as director-generals of Amotekun Corps in their various s
tates saying the step would grossly challenge the success of the outfit.The former governor, who noted that the essence of launching Amotekun Corps was to complement internal security in the South-West states, said military officers were not specially schooled on internal security management but trained to fight wars.
Alao-Akala, who was an Assistant Commissioner of Police, said, “The Amotekun Corp will fail in the South-West states except for Lagos. The outfit is supposed to take care of the security of the people and their property across the zone but it will fail in every state except Lagos because the right people were not appointed to head it.
