A Muslim group, Supreme Council
for Sharia in Nigeria has faulted the establishment of Western Nigeria Security
Outfit popularly known as Operation Amotekun by Southwest governors.
The group claimed that Amotekun
was a subtle plot by Christians to dominate the Southwest region.
Addressing journalists in Osogbo,
Osun State yesterday, the Vice President, Sheikh Abdurrasheed Hadiyatullah said
Amotekun was a covert effort to create a Christian dominated state police.
Hadiyatullah described Amotekun
as a sinister motive which is at variance with true, genuine and real yearning
of the public for a more secure environment.
“It is another elusive way of
establishing a ‘Christian-dominated State Police Force whose affairs would be
designed and determined from the Church at the expense of the Muslims majority
in the region”.
Hadiyatullah demanded for
“Provision of effective safety for lives and property of the people at any
point in time is a collective responsibility one that is devoid of any iota of
elements of religious, ethnic and primitive bigotry; a type of garment that
Amotekun presently but unfortunately wears.
“Issues of security of the
peoples ought not to be premised on the altar of politics and personal
interests as doing such would amount to building an empire on mere propaganda
and the figment of the imagination of the gullible. It stands to collapse
shortly after its creation.
“Any form of the Christian agenda
camouflaged as a Security Outfit, such as the Amotekun, where the Muslims
population from the Southwest and in the country at large is viewed as a target
is an act of injustice, unfairness, inequality, barbarism, savagery and
wickedness taken too far and therefore outright unacceptable and thereby
condemned in its entirety”.
