Anti-Amotekun protest storms Ekiti as group wants network scrapped
The group under the banner of ‘Yoruba Appraisal Forum’ that spearheaded the protest, wanted the body scrapped across the six states of Ekiti, Oyo, Osun, Lagos, Ondo and Ogun States to avoid future calamity.
Some of the placards they flaunted read: ‘Amotekun Will Turn our Youths to Militia Group”, ‘Amotekun Motive, Shine Your Eyes’, ‘Amotekun Can Bring Proliferation of Arms’, among others. “We call on President Buhari to use his good office to call the Southwest Governors to order by prevailing on them not to sign the Amotekun bills into laws yet, until proper checks about such security are done”, he said.
