Governors of the six southwest states of Nigeria will launch a new security outfit known as Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN) on Thursday. The launch is scheduled to take place in Oyo State. The states, Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Ogun and Lagos, tagged the security network AMOTEKUN – a Yoruba word for leopard. The security network agreement was reached in Ibadan, Oyo State in June 2019, at a regional security summit. All of the States, except Oyo State, is governed by the ruling All Progressives Congress.
