Operation Amotekun: Yoruba Youths Warn Criminals In South West |OGBOMOSO INFO|





A group, Yoruba Youth Socio-Cultural Association (YYSA) Worldwide, yesterday said the commencement of Operation Amotekun would bring an end to the operations of criminal elements in South-West region.

In a statement by its National President, Hammed Olalekan, and made available to The Guardian in Ibadan, the group said: “Days of criminal herdsmen are numbered in South-West region.

“The oncoming South-West joint security outfit, known as Amotekun, would definitely put an end to various criminalities being perpetrated by herders starting from killing, maiming, kidnapping, robbery, rape and open grazing, which had been banned in some South-West states but still being practised archaically by uncouth herdsmen who refused to change for better.

“In fact, some other evil acts, such as mounting roadblocks by suspected Fulani, which had been occurring and still being experienced on Friday at Ise-Ekiti where at least three of them were arrested, would soon become a thing of the past.

“It’s left for South-West governors to carry all stakeholders along and finance it adequately for the programme to be successful.

“We have factions in OPC (Oodu’a People’s Congress) and Agbekoya, but the most important thing is that our governors must treat them equally.

“Our local security groups should also note that the assignment could only be done successfully when they shun all forms of enmity among themselves and work with team spirit,” the statement said.

RE-How I make a Payback for a lecturer who failed me for 6 years in the University. Do you remember the viral post some months which this platform also published  about a guy who claimed he was unduly failed severally by a LAUTECH lecturer  for a misdemeanor in Biology practicals?       He further claimed the same man and his family were at his mercy years later, begging for a part-time WAEC job. Well, this is the official University response to the incident. It's commendable of the university to have followed up on the matter. It's also a lesson for the rest of us to avoid the habit of making claims that can be substantiated, especially for the sake of fame.                      The LAUTECH authority invited him to come and shed light on the accusation but he did honour the invitations. The Senate of the University had no choice than to withheld his result, suspend his transcript until further no...
