In a recent interview, Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, expressed deep concern over the politicization of the South-West's security initiative, Amotekun Corps. He stated that the escalating insecurity in Nigeria has become a profit-driven enterprise, with various actors capitalizing on the chaos instead of genuinely addressing the underlying issues. Adams emphasized that this trend undermines the safety and security of the region, making it increasingly difficult for citizens to feel secure in their daily lives.

Adams also criticized the centralised policing structure in Nigeria, arguing that it has failed to effectively combat the rising security threats faced by the country. He called on the Federal Government to consider creating state police forces, a measure he believes is essential for improving local security responses. According to Adams, the existing model hinders timely and relevant action against criminals, as it does not adequately reflect the unique security needs of diverse regions in Nigeria.

Furthermore, Adams has taken proactive steps to address this crisis by reaching out to South-West governors for collaboration and raising awareness through media engagements and press conferences. He believes that collective efforts are crucial for enhancing security strategies and urged stakeholders to work together to implement effective solutions for the growing insecurity in Nigeria. Without significant changes, Adams warns that the situation could deteriorate further, putting the lives of citizens at greater risk.
