Quote:The Federal Government and Governors of states in the South-west have reached the agreement to draw up a legal framework for the Western Security Network code-named: Amotekun.
Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of Ondo state, disclosed this to state house correspondents at the end of a meeting Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo had with the six governors from the region on Thursday.
Akeredolu said the legal framework will help resolve all “burning issues” surrounding the security network.
Asked if the governors failed to draw up the legal framework for the outfit before the launch on January 9, Akeredolu said the inspector-general of police and other “relevant security agencies” were consulted earlier.
Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation and minister of justice, who had described the outfit as illegal, was part of the meeting.

Breaking: Osinbajo, IGP, South West governors agree that Amotekun should go on
The Federal Government and South-West governors have reached an agreement on Operation Amotekun.
Laolu Akande, the Special Adviser to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, made this known via his verified Twitter handle this evening. According to Akande, the Vice President had a meeting with the South West governors alongside the Inspector General of Police Adamu Mohammed and the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, in the presidential villa earlier today and it was agreed that Amotekun should go on.
Quote:"News Flash: FG, Southwest Governors agree on Amotekun.
VP Osinbajo after presiding over National Economic Council, also met with Southwest Governors to sort out the Amotekun issues. The President who is away asked the VP to host the meeting. The AGF & IGP were also in attendance & everyone at the meeting agreed Amotekun should go on." he tweeted.
His tweet comes hours after the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, released a statement insisting that the security outfit created by South West governors, is illegal and not backed by the constitution.
