“Your Excellency, we, therefore, demand that appropriate action should be taken urgently against the Amotekun security outfit to stop those who have hijacked it from achieving their devilish plans against the Nigerian nation.”
The Convener of the group, Comrade Adeshina Animashaun, in a letter to President Buhari argued that there was the urgent need to check what he termed the excesses of the security outfit to check imminent bloodshed in the region and Nigeria at large.
The Coalition, which had been in the forefront of agitation against the operations of Amotekun, argued that the renewed call on the President to stop the South-West security outfit became imperative due to recent developments indicating that the forces behind it had been taking further steps by internationalising their plan to dismember Nigeria.
It maintained that contrary to claims by those sponsoring Amotekun, it was not established to provide security for the people of the South West. “For the avoidance of doubt, Your Excellency, Amotekun is a smokescreen and the Federal Government should urgently see beyond this cover. Amotekun is the armed or military wing of those clamouring for Yoruba autonomy and secession. Amotekun, as stated in our previous petition, is part of the game plan by some people in the South West to cause chaos and ultimately dismember Nigeria. It was not established to provide security for the people of the region.
It further stressed that the President must act now to prevent the threat Amotekun’s operations would pose to human lives and property of all residents in the region, including the Yoruba, especially now that a group, Yoruba World Congress , has dragged the region into the membership of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation .
