The Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria has revealed its displeasure for the formation of the Western Nigeria Security Outfit tagged “Operation Amotekun” describing it as a subtle effort to Christianise the region.
The group had during a press conference addressed by its Vice President, Sheikh Abdur’rasheed Hadiyatullah at the Correspondents’ chapel in Osogbo on Monday said Amotekun is a covert effort to create a Christian dominated state police.
According to the Hadiyatullah, Amotekun have a sinister motive which is at variance with true, genuine and real yawning of the public for a more secure environment.
“The Amotekun program is viewed as a subtle method of further Christianization of the Southwest by its promoters in their usual manner of having political and power dominance over the Muslims in the region.
“It is another elusive way of establishing a ‘Christian-dominated State Police Force whose alfairs would be designed and determined from the Church at the expense of the Muslims majority in the region”.
we as Nigerians we are not in support of any kind of Amotekun security because it’s all about Christians initiative pls let’s the Federal government did their job

Please! amotekun should not be politicised, tribalised,religionised or trivialised. The unity,security & progress of Nigeria is too important to allow for all these
