Ebonyi State
Commissioner for Internal Security and Border Peace, Mr. Stanley Emegha has
accused the South-West governors of ‘copying’ the idea of the security outfit
‘Operation Amotekun’ from the state.
Amotekun, a
southwest security network was launched on January 9, 2019, and has since
commenced operations in all the six states in the South Western states.
Emegha in an
interview with journalists in Abakaliki said ‘Operation Amotekun’ security
outfit constituted in the South-West was its brainchild.
He stressed
that the southeast security outfit operation is led by retired General. Obi
Umahi who is an elder brother to Ebonyi State governor. He added that by the
end of January, the security efforts and plan of the region would have been
made clearer.
Emegha said:
“The launch of Amotekun in the South West is what is already in vogue in Ebonyi
State, in particular, and South-East, in general. This is so because traces of
insecurity like kidnapping, car-snatching, armed robbery, are no longer found
in Ebonyi State. The actual region that the governor of Kano was talking about
for this security initiative, is the South-East, not the Southwest.
“What they
have done is they have just copied what is already in existence in Ebonyi. This
kind of security strategy is being put in place and has been made possible by
the South-East Security Consultant, Gen. Obi Umahi (retd)” he added.
