Igangan Attack: Southwest Govs Give Amotekun Orders On Joint Operation

Governors in the Southwest region have given marching orders to
the South West Security Network codenamed Amotekun Corps to
immediately commence joint operations in the region.

The Southwest Governors, who encouraged security agencies to get
to the roots of the attack in Igangan community in Oyo State,
convoked a joint security meeting of all Amotekun Commanders in the
region.

Chairman Southwest Governors Forum Oluwarotimi Akeredolu
described the attack on Igangan as horrendous, callous and highly
provocative.

The Ondo Governor said all well-meaning Nigerians must condemn
what he described as assault on decency and communal harmony.

Akeredolu, who spoke in a statement in Akure, reiterated that
certain elements were bent on causing friction among Nigerians with
the sole aim of achieving a pernicious end.

According to him: “They will stop at nothing until their set
goal is realised. It is, therefore, incumbent on all lovers of
peace and freedom to rise against this current regression into
savagery.

“We on our part are resolved to defend our people, their
property, and all legitimate means of livelihood against both
internal and external aggression. On this, there will be no
compromise.

“We call on our people to remain vigilant and report any
suspicious movement in their communities. In addition, they must be
united in the task of defending our lives and properties. We cannot
afford to fail.”
