Amotekun: Northern Nigeria mulls own version with 'Operation Shege ka Fasa’
- What looks like Amotekun could be birthed in the northern part of Nigeria soon
- A group is making the demand while warning that all such security outfits must be backed by law
- The group laments the inability of the authorities to unite Nigeria and turn the country around positively
If things work out well in the north, the region may come up with its own version of Amotekun, a creation of governors in the south west for the protection of the people.
In the case of the north, the security set-upwill not be called Amotekun. It may be code-named 'Operation Shege ka Fasa'.
This is what the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) currently asking the governors in the region to consider as it announced its support for the south west's structure.
CNG noted that the northern region should be more concerned about the security problems that had enveloped the area for a long time.
