The Chairman, South West Governors Forum, Rotimi Akeredolu has declared that the security outfit codenamed Amotekun is a child of necessity and it has come to stay in the region.

Akeredolu said this in Akure while receiving the new Comptroller of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) in the state, Dayo Oni.

He noted that the existence of the State Security Network, Amotekun Corps, was benefiting the states and other major security outfits.

While emphasising that Amotekun was not created to be rival to other security agencies, the governor called for cooperation and synergy among sister agencies and the state security outfit.

“We know your duties and responsibilities as immigration service. We do appreciate what you do. I know that before you came here, as you rightly noted, we have always assisted your previous colleagues.
