The Southwest Stakeholders’ Security Group (SSSG) has applauded the move by governors to start a joint security taskforce across the zone. The governors had, last week, resolved to start the new security outfit on January 9.According to them, the security taskforce codenamed Operation Amotekun, would create the needed synergy between the states, to ensure the safety and security of the region. The group said it was necessary that members should be people with integrity, saying anything short of that would amount to an exercise in futility. It is when the country is safe and secure that we can think of other necessities,” he said. Adams said that though the situation had reduced drastically with the emergence of the SSSG, there is renewed tension with the recent invasion of some communities in the region.
