Kwara Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq has been urged to sign the state up for the Amotekun security project of the Southwest states.

The advice was given by the Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere via  a statement its Chairman and Public Relations Officer of the Kwara State chapter, Lekan Alabi and Comrade Adeleye Adebayo released, which read in part: “Apart from the cultural and linguistic affinity of Kwara State with the Southwest states, the ravaging herdsmen have caged many of our communities and subjected them to avoidable trauma, just as it was being done to our kith and kin in the Southwest states.

“Our farms are being ravaged with impunity by the herdsmen and we have become prisoners in our land.

“In the light of above, we call on Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to key into the Amotekun security project as proposed by the Yoruba states. This will prevent unnecessary loss of lives, loss of property and anguish that herdsmen/community clashes could bring”.
