Oyo, Ogun Assemblies Pass Amotekun Bill

The State Assemblies in both Oyo and Ogun states on Tuesday passed the Amotekun bill into law during a plenary session.

The bill was passed by the Ogun Assembly bill barely 19 days after receiving the Bill from the Executive Arm.

The Bill titled: “HB No 35/OG/2020- “A Bill for a law to establish the Ogun State Security Network Agency and Amotekun Corps to Assist in Maintaining Law and Order in the State and Connected Purposes” was passed on Tuesday during a plenary presided over by the Speaker, Kunle Oluomo.

The passage followed the presentation of report of the Special Ad-hoc Committee on Security and Strategy by the Majority Leader, Yusuf Sherif

The Oyo state lawmakers added some swagger to the passing of the bill as they majority of them wore customised outfits in the shade of leopard skin to the sitting.

Local hunters’ chants and songs immediately rented the air of the hallowed Chambers with lawmakers congratulating each other on the extent of the job done.
