E don happen


Seems everybody is just waiting for the opportunity to show themselves.

Naija is on cruise mode.

What's going on in Oyo State? Seems they are grappling with security issues in several parts of the state. Amotekun corps should be careful with the way they relate with people, and not just be shooting anyhow.

It has begun.

Truth.

BTW, the reports didn't give us what transverse between both of them.

This is very bad for the outfit. The FG will like to use this to proscribe Amotekun.

Amotekun in Oyo State has been in the news for every bad reasons in recent times.
What is Makinde doing about this?
I think before it gets out of hand, they should properly evaluate most of those Amotekun officers mentally, I think thugs were also recruited into Amotekun and that should be checked.

Lately Oyo is witnessing all sort of negative news under Makinde, is he confused already?


On the other hand Police has been shooting innocent citizens for a long time now maybe they need to have a taste of what they have been serving people so that they will know how it feels.

Ok

Untrained clowns......

Amotokun is not serious and that's disappointing. First they pretended to have the support of all Yorubas but it's only in Oyo (tomorrow they will say Igbos are not united), they're untrained and likely someone took funny pink uniforms and put it on thugs and unserious elements.

Nigerians think thugs and soldiers are the same thing and they're not. A thug is a coward. If you give a coward a gun they will shot at anything that intimidates them. Anything that stresses them. worst they will want to intimidate everyone because thats the language they understand. Igbos made this mistake with Bakassi boys but we have since learned and now ESN is training, disciplined and off clear mind.

I blame buhari fr this
