Shehu said this during a courtesy visit to the Ondo State security outfit, codenamed Amotekun, in Akure.
Speaking through the team leader of the Indices and Disbursement Committee of the Commission, Isiak Hamid, the chairman lauded the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, and other South-West governors over the Amotekun initiative.
He pointed out that the initiative was aimed at tackling insecurity, and ensuring that peace continues to reign in their domain.
His words: “We want to commend Governor Akeredolu and other governors in the South-West for coming up with the noble initiative which has continued to reduce crime to its barest minimum in the area. May be, this would be the beginning of State Police in Nigeria.
”We have seen commitment, and real patriotism. We can see that Mr. Governor did not set up this security outfit as a joke. It is not cosmetic. We will convey your message to our chairman, who sent us and we also ask that the state Governor gives a certain percentage to Amotekun to access stabilization fund and it is our prayer that some part of it gets to the Corps.”
