Amotekun: A South-East regional security outfit for us too – Governor Umahi

Ebonyi State Governor and Chairman of South-East Governors Forum, David Umahi, has announced that the South-East will soon be getting its own security outfit just like the South-West’s Amotekun.

The Ebonyi State Governor who disclosed this on Wednesday, during a familiarization courtesy visit by the General Officer commanding 82 Army Division Enugu, GOC Lasisi Adegboye, said they’ve already “written to the federal government and are putting things together”.
Umahi said; “One of our major challenges here in Ebonyi State is our problem with Cross River people, but we bless God so highly for the initiatives of the youths. The Deputy Governor and the Speaker of the State Assembly have to arrange so that they joint the youth committee on Cross River and Ebonyi people will go and pay a courtesy call on the GOC.
“Probably, who knows if you are the one that will make both states to sign a lasting agreement for lasting peace. Here in Ebonyi, I thank the police, the army, the SSS. It has been a union of brotherhood and working together with our Neighbourhood Watch.
