Miyetti Allah, a Fulani socio-cultural organization has stated that the reason the organization is against the establishment of Amotekun is because the security outfit was deliberately established to cleanse the Fulani tribe, totally, from the Southwest region of the country.
This statement was specially made by the leader of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore in Bauchi state, Alhaji Sadiq Ahmed, who spoke in Abuja on Saturday, stating that although Nigeria is faced with pressing security crisis, the establishment of Amotekun the Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN), which is regionalized, will not succeed because it was not established by any provision of the constitution.
Alhaji Ahmed said;
“I can tell you one thing, Amotekun will not last because it is indigenous, regionalized and lacks constitutional backing. The constitution has a readymade provision for regular security with the establishment of the Nigeria Police Force, a regional security outfit like Amotekun is a breach of the constitution that will only breed problems and conflicts.
”Is there a doubt anywhere that the motive behind the establishment of Amotekun is to cleanse our tribe from the Southwest? It is the responsibility of the federal government to provide security, any parallel security outfit is illegal and unacceptable.”
Meanwhile, the Miyetti Allah leader, the Vanguard also reported that Ahmed also called for the removal of Service Chiefs over low performance and advocated for the restructure of the Nigeria Police for better and effective performance.
He said;
“I suggest that the President remove the Service Chiefs immediately because they have done nothing, despite trillions of Naira that they have received in recent years. He should also reform the Police, the Army and all other security forces in the country.

“I hear people every time try to compare Amotekun to Hizba, and that irritates me. Hizba security outfit in the North is just an umbrella of an Islamic body only meant for Islamic affairs. It bears no resemblance of Amotekun or the motive behind its formation.”
