  • PublishedJune 26, 2022

Following the recent attack in the state by terrorists, the Ondo State House of Assembly weekend said it would soon amend the law establishing the State Security outfit, codenamed Amotekun, to deal with the spate of insecurity in the state.

This was revealed by the Chairman of the House Committee on information and Sports, Hon Gbenga Omole while speaking during a security summit, organized by Oka community in Akoko South-West council area of the state.

Omole said that, ” the law after review, would give the Amotekun corps power to have access to improved technology and more sophisticated weapons to tackle security challenges.

“We (the Assembly), have been doing our best; of recent, we have to tinker with the Amotekun law.

“We are looking at the law to give more backings to Amotekun in terms of procurement of more sophisticated weapons and more technology to be deployed.

“So we are supporting the government (executive) in terms of security. That law is under the process of being amended to give more power to Amotekun”, he stated.
