The Fulani socio-cultural organization, Miyetti Allah has disclosed the major reason it vowed that Amotekun, the Southwest regional security organization would not see the light of the day.
It said Amotekun creation aim at security cleansing the Fulani tribe from the Southwest region of the country which they vowed never to allow.
Alhaji Sadiq Ahmed, the leader of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore in Bauchi state, who broke this silence said the Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN) lacks the legal framework to succeed.
Admitting that the nation was facing a serious security threat, he called for the restructuring of the security architecture in the country.
“I can tell you one thing, Amotekun will not last because it is indigenous, regionalized and lacks constitutional backing.
”The constitution has a ready-made 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,” he said.
The Miyetti Allah leader, however, called for the removal of Service Chiefs, saying that they have performed below expectation, while also advocating for the reform of the Nigeria Police to enable it to perform its duties effectively.

His words: ”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,” he added
