The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, has stated that the South-West security outfit, Amotekun Corps, has been politicised.
Adams, who spoke in an interview with Vanguard on Saturday, also urged the Federal Government to approve the creation of state police.
He noted that insecurity in Nigeria is worsening because government efforts alone cannot tackle the challenge.
The Yoruba leader also criticised the implementation of the Amotekun security outfit, saying its recruitment process had become highly politicised.
“Even the recruitment into the Amotekun that we agitated for has been highly politicised.
“It was only the first recruitment, especially in Oyo State, that was less politicised, but others have been highly politicised,” Adams said.
“I think the situation is getting out of hand as the government is not providing any solution to it. As one of the stakeholders and the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, I have written to the South-West governors to encourage collaboration. I have also called the attention of the media to various fora and held a press conference on this issue, emphasising the need for collaboration,” he added.
