Up
to this moment the whole Nigerian are shower Praise and Huge Accolades on ONDO and OYO Amotekun
And clamour that we need such here in Ogun State too.
That is why am creating an Indulgence of our GOVERNOR to this..
Let take Cognizant of this…
We had three batches of Amotekun in Ogun state
THE FIRST BATCH and SECOND BATCH was established in 2021
They were given uniform, 2 Patrol van and motorcycle
While some of 2nd batch was denied patrol van
The 3rd batch which started working on FEB 14 2022,
They were given One polo, Underwear, One face cap, Jungle hat and 2 Belts till date
Moreso , According to reliable source, Information reaching us now that all the third batches are now buying their uniforms by themselves
And they are paying for this uniforms out of their salary 33k plus Naira in a month.
In the middle of 2022
How will they confront criminals with locally made Gun.
And what is the source of their mobility???
Meanwhile
The late corps Commander C.P DAVID AKINREMI (RIP) did live broadcast where he said Patrol van and Motorcycles has been given to all AMOTEKUN IN OGUN STATE which I believe it should be true.
What about who fund their movement during the distress calls???
They started with 27,500 NAIRA in 2022 and it was increased to 28,500 naira in 2023 compare to other states like OYO,OSUN,AND ONDO STATE..
Aside that some officers has died in the line of duty in all the batches And no compensation to their families
Even if they had an accident and they fail to inform their Superior Officers Immediately
They will not border or attend to the corps at all..
On the other hand,
Is there qny6 Insurance to any of their operative at all???,
Also Free medical check up to their serving members
However,What about the leave bonus annually .
Their grade is 6 and 8 which their salary is higher than pry 6 level
Those that was graded to level 6 and 8 and some of those that was graded to PRIMARY SIX LEVEL are graduate with HND,OND,BSC AND NCE HOLDER .with situation of the economy of the country has turn them to become Amotekun corps and earning peanuts..
Let's look at this...
98% of Amotekun officers are married and we want them to perform100% security job both investigation, arrest criminals that also carry Gun and some dangerous weapon
How can this be possible....???
Likewise... with look of things
There is no different between OGUN STATE SECURITY NETWORK AGENCY AMOTEKUN and SO SAFE VIGILANTE The only different is that they are in Ogun state pay roll (Peanuts thou)
But in terms of amenities they are the same.
The reason why am so much concern about this is that I was in a SECURITY CONFERENCE MEETING with DAWN COMMISSION at Cocoa House in Ibadan Oyo State with my leaders in High profile Security Organization EAGLE CRIME AWARENESS AND PREVENTION INITIATIVE (ECAPI)
Let's us keep our Amotekun stand and fit in Ogun State
