As part of his efforts to tackle insecurity and rid the state of criminal elements, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has charged the elected chairmen across the 18 local government areas of the state to set up local vigilante.

Governor Akeredolu urged the council chairmen to engage local hunters who will work effectively with the state security network codenamed “Amotekun”.

The governor gave the directive on Tuesday during a meeting with the local government chairmen at the Cocoa Conference Hall of the Governor’s office, Alagbaka, Akure.

Akeredolu assured that, at least, two vehicles will be provided for the Amotekun Corps in each of 18 local government areas of the state, as operational vehicles to aid their fight against criminality.
