Makinde, attended a passing-out ceremony for Amotekun corp members
on November 18, 2020.
Oyo State Governor on Wednesday said he was ready to
deploy Amotekun corp members to all the state’s 351
wards.
He said this while attending the passing-out ceremony of the
Amotekun Corps in Oyo Town.
Amotekun is a regional security outfit conceived by South-West
states.
The outfit is expected to complement federal policing as the
country continues to mull over the mechanics of a policing system
under the authority of state governments.
“This afternoon, we held the passing-out ceremony of the
Àmòtékún Corps in Oyo Town,” Makinde said. “It’s been a long
journey to get to this point from July 2019, when the first meeting
was held by all six southwest governors to set up a regional
security outfit.

agencies to secure our state. Members of the corps will be drafted
to all the 351 wards in Oyo State. They will be answerable to me
and so, I will be responsible for their actions.”
