The bill seeks to unify the proposed law that would guide the security outfit jointly established by the South-West governors.
Prior to the passing of the bill, the Lagos State House of Assembly had organised a public hearing which was attended by residents of the state.“I’m sure we all recall the incidents before the establishment of Amotekun, the killings, maiming, kidnapping and their likes,” Mr Obasa had said. “In the wisdom of our governors, they decided on Amotekun. Our race has spoken and we must stand by it but in line with the constitution.”
