All of them dey mad – Carry Go, Operation Amotekun must succeed. We must build an Orientation Center for them as well. Una never see anything. We have left KOGI & ILORIN for their respective stakeholders but our remaining 6 states will be protected. I am donating. https://t.co/2ohb3MHQk9

As the entire Yoruba kingdom converge in Ibadan today to launch operation "Amotekun" to protect the lives of its people, so also should the South South Governors and their SE counterparts should launch operation "Ijeawolor" we cant continue to watch bandits invade our lands.

@sweetfm1071 #GOP. The Southwest may not have D ultimate legal backing on Operation Amotekun,, but they have morality questions to raise on D state of security in D region, based on existing situation. Situationalism calls for this action, no nation develops politicizing security

Operation' amotekun (leopard) to be formally launched by the south-west stakeholders tomorrow at Ibadan. South West maximum security is a significant priority..

So Operation Amotekun was sighted in full force opposite the State Secretariat this evening.

Over 10 brand new Hiluxes.

We hope this is not another Agency that terrorizes the taxpayers.

Now that South West governors have introduced a security outfit called "Operation Amotekun", South East leaders should waste no time to relaunch/reintroduce the "Operation Bakasi", aka THE BAKASI BOYS. I so submit! pic.twitter.com/7GBcXEvxkW
