THE Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, has condemned the recent incursion of a gang suspected to be herdsmen into Ekiti State, describing the development as height of provocation of the people of the affected areas. The first-class traditional ruler then acknowledged the ‘Amotekun,’ a Western Nigeria Security Network promoted by the South-West governor, hoping that the the option would improve the security system in the country. “We have to reschedule a traditional rulers programme scheduled to hold in Oyo to give enough space for the take-off of ‘Amotekun’. What it means is that we want to see how the South-WWest governors would go about it. But if you ask me, I will tell you that we need to strengthen security architecture of the South-west before it is too late,” he said.
