He equally applauded the leadership of Amotekun in each States for their commitment, efficiency and effectiveness in tackling insecurity including kidnapping, armed robbery, banditry and other criminal activities in the South-West States.

Oyeleye said the Commission is in touch with the South West Governors on how to further address the little challenges noticed in their operations.
“As the operations proceed, we have been looking at the areas of challenges and we have been advising governors in the region on measures that need to be put in place to make them more effective and efficient.
“More over, we also have the forum of all the Amotekun Commanders in the region where we interact almost on daily basis, and from there we share ideas and we also know the challenges.
“From there we advise our governors on how to move forward. But by and large, Amotekun has been successful”, the DG stressed.
