Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwoolu has disclosed that the police will be part of recruitment and training of personnel to be used for Operation Amotekun.
According to Sanwoolu on his official twitter handle on Thursday, police involvement is to ensure professionalism.
He says “Today, I hosted the meeting of South West Governors and the IG of Police as we talked about issues around community policing.
The meeting adopted operational modalities for Operation Amotekun to be a state-led effort as opposed to a regional security operation. https://t.co/TGmDJtO8Vx
To ensure professionalism, the police will be part of the recruitment and training of Amotekun operatives as we work to make our communities safer.
It was gratifying that the IGP commended the example Lagos has set for the country in community policing with our existing model.” https://t.co/gs7VaBHoqc
