A leader of Operation Amotekun, the South Western security outfit, on Monday, dresses in full juju regalia to attend a public hearing on the outfit at the Ekiti state house of assembly.

The Amotekun leader also gave his submission on the security initiative.

The Ekiti assembly had earlier passed the Amotekun bill transmitted by Kayode Fayemi, the governor, into law.

Amotekun is the security initiative of the six governors of the South West and was originally established as a regional outfit but after a series of consultations, including a meeting with Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police, the initiative was adopted as a state effort.
