Amotekun: Afenifere Dares FG to Arrest South West Leaders after Miyetti Allah Called for their Arrest

Apex Yoruba socio-cultural organization, Afenifere has dared the federal government to arrest South West leaders over the recently launched Operation Amotekun.

The Publicity Secretary of the group, Yinka Odumakin while reacting to call by the National President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Abdullahi Bodejo, for the arrest of leaders from the region by the federal government, said they are waiting for the government to effect the arrest.

“If herdsmen are the criminals in the Southwest, then, we have to drive them away; if they are the troublers of the Southwest, if they are the ones poaching and raping our women, if they are the ones who killed Fasoranti’s daughter, then there is the need to drive them out. They will be driven out either by Amoketun or by something else because we need peace in our land; we have not gone to their land to kill them or to kidnap them.

“As for his call on the federal government to arrest the leaders of Amotekun, we dare them to come and do it. The last time they tested the will of Yoruba people was over the June 12 presidential election, and Nigeria was at war. It was that battle that drove the military away, so we are waiting for them with all pleasures to come and arrest them” Odumakin said.
