“We are yet to issue out forms and if there is any form that is out now in Ondo State, it is illegal, we have drafted the forms but we have not issued them out.

“The forms would be out next week. What we want to do is to first recruit. after the recruitment, we will issue out the forms.

“All the traditional rulers and community leaders in the state would be made to sign as guarantors of whoever we want to recruit in their communities.”

This is coming after Emmanuel Umohinyang,  Convener of Re-elect Buhari Movement (RBM) in the 2019 presidential election advised the security outfits initiators to partner with the Police in discharging their security duties.

He also stated that uniforms will be a bad idea for Amotekun agents who ought to blend in their environment and gather information.

“Let the commissioner of police take care of the operations arm in terms of deployment and supervising them. I do not also see the need to put them in uniforms if they are to be an intelligence-gathering unit.

“They are to live with the people and share information with the police. If you put them in uniforms, they will be easily identified.”
