How other security agencies are frustrating our efforts —Olayanju

Share
Commandant of the Oyo State Western Security Network codenamed Amotekun, Colonel Olayinka Bisiriyu Olayanju, in this interview by KUNLE ODEREMI and NURUDEEN ALIMI, states reasons the security outfit is finding it extremely difficult to have a smooth working relationship with other security agencies and how it is checkmating the activities of hoodlums in the state, among other issues:
 
How has the experience been since Amotekun commenced operation in Oyo state?
We started operation three months ago and it has been good so far, though there are challenges like in every human endeavor and they vary from one location to the other. For instance, what we experienced within Ibadan metropolis was different from that of Ibarapa, Oyo and Oke-Ogun. The basic problem we have in Oyo State is the presence of hoodlums and violent people who appear as indigenes. Some of them left Lagos when the city became very hot and they moved to Oyo fully armed. Some of them are students who still engage in cult activities, armed robbery and other criminal acts. Some are being used as thugs by militants. When we started engaging them, some people were not happy about our operations. When I say people, I do not mean politicians alone.
