ON Wednesday, the Western Nigeria Security Network (Amotekun) raised the alarm over the invasion of the country by Fulani marauders from Mali, Niger Republic, Chad and Burkina Faso. This disclosure was made by the Oyo State chairman of Amotekun, Brigadier-General Ajibola Togun (retd), who revealed that some of the foreigners were already hiding in forest reserves in the South-West. As a matter of fact, it was their genocidal activities that sparked the formation of Amotekun. The statement by the Oyo Amotekun boss is therefore a very grave alarm that should attract the attention of governments at the state and federal levels. In particular, we urge the Lagos State government to unveil the state’s branch of Amotekun.
