Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka has sent a strong warning to
the newly inaugurated Amotekun operatives in Ogun State, asking them not
to engage in brutality or harassment of innocent people.
The playwright did not mince words when he said that Ogun, the god of
iron, will strike any operative who abuses his uniform while
discharging his duties.
Soyinka said, “Amotekun, we are watching you. If you abuse your uniform, before Ogun strikes you, we would have dealt with you.” HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE $5000
reports that the Ogun State Amotekun Corps was inaugurated
Thursday by Governor Dapo Abiodun, who also decorated the Professor as
the Super Marshall of the security outfit in the state.
Addressing the gathering, Soyinka expressed dissatisfaction that the
police had not been able to give him a feedback on those who he claimed
invaded his residence and carted away very sensitive materials, adding
that he had since resorted to what he termed ‘do it yourself’.
He warned the police and other security agents not to engage in any
competition with the Amotekun corps in Ogun, saying “this is not a
replacement for you, you’re too jealous of your uniform.”
He urged them to welcome the new security network into their ranks
and allow its operatives to complement their efforts in securing the
state.
Also in his words, Abiodun warned that Amotekun should operate within
the ambit of the law that established it and should not be involved in
unhealthy rivalry with other security agencies.
“The inauguration of Amotekun in Ogun State is not to create
unnecessary competition with other security agencies in Ogun,” Abiodun
stressed.

books titled ‘Trumpism in Academe’ and ‘Chronicles of the Happiest

He was responding to former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, who
asked if he could write a story that would inspire unity among the
various tribes in the country.
In response, Soyinka claimed Nigeria had lost a key opportunity to unite.
“We had a critical moment and we lost that moment. The moment when this country could have come together.
“There has been more than one moment and we lost the moment. Will
another one come? I don’t know. Right now I don’t see it under this
government quite frankly.
“There is a failure, a systemic failure in present governance and I don’t know who can put it together,” Soyinka added.
Soyinka however insisted that Nigeria should remain one entity.
