You slept while Nigerians were killed - Soyinka slams FG for outlawing Amotekun - Edoman - 01-15-2020 You slept while Nigerians were killed - Soyinka slams FG for outlawing Amotekun Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka has berated the Nigerian government for outlawing Amotekun few days after its launch in the South-West region. Speaking at a press briefing in Lagos on Wednesday January 15, Soyinka wondered why those who "slept, took belated actions and watched people being decimated" will suddenly wake to declare the initiative as illegal. He further stated that a government that cares for the welfare of its citizens will never object to such initiative. The Nobel Laureate who insisted that the launch of Amotekun operation was not only necessary but long overdue, added that it is the fundamental right of the people to defend themselves against those who threaten their existence. He said; Quote:“I’ve always believed passionately in self-policing. If it is possible to eliminate any kind of formal policing, I will be forward. But there is a need for an organised security. Soyinka also revealed that the legal implication of the South-West security outfit was considered before its launch by governors in the region. |
