Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said that the state do not need the services of the Western Nigeria Security Outfit code named Amotekun.
Sanwo-Olu made this statement while speaking during an interview at Channels Television’s Sunday Politics at the Lagos House.
According to him, the Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps (LNSC) are performing exactly the same role Amotekun corps would do in the State.
In his words, “It’s just a name change in the case of Lagos. I appreciate what my colleague governors are doing, and they also appreciate the peculiar nature of Lagos.
“I have got over 7,000 neighbourhood watch personnel in Lagos, who are doing exactly the same thing that we have Amotekun doing.
“They are there at the border post giving us daily monitoring in their localities and feeding it back to the central. They are the ones feeding us with information. But they cannot carry arms and prosecute people.
“The borders that I have in Lagos are outside of the Atlantic Ocean is Ogun state” the Governor said.
