Catholic bishops have decried the actions and pronouncements of agents of the Federal Government with regards to the fight against insecurity in the country, saying they were rendering the actions of state governors ineffective. They said: “We join all well-meaning Nigerians who have called on the authorities to allow alternative and lawful initiatives which are established for protecting lives and properties like the South-Western Security Network (SWSN) codenamed Amotekun, to thrive. “We note that insincerity, selfish interests and lack of political will had in the past caused needless destruction of lives and properties, and inflicted untold pain and hardship on innocent citizens. “However, our governors must shun deceptive adulations and empty promises on issues that impact the security of lives and properties. “They must work with the security agencies to courageously implement the law in all cases and sanction those who blatantly and murderously flout it in their territories.
