South-east to set up security outfit in April, says Umahi

Ebonyi state governor, David Umahi has said by April 2020, the South-east region would float their own security outfit similar to Amotekun in the South-west.

Umahi had hinted that the South-east would establish their own special security outfit to check the rising insecurity in the geopolitical zone.

People were however surprised when Umahi turned round to say that they were toying the line of community policing when all eyes and ears were up that South-east would get their own security arrangement to safeguard their land against insecurity.

Umahi, who disclosed this weekend in Abakaliki at the 7th convocation ceremony of the Ebonyi State University (EBSU) said in the month of April, the South-east governors and Igbo leaders would launch their own security outfit.

“In April, we shall roll out something like Amotekun,” he said, pointing out that everything had been put in place for the establishment of the security outfit.
