“What we witnessed on the 5th of June in Owo is indescribable. What they did, these mindless people, I call them animals in human skins, they came to maim and kill. They didn’t kidnap anybody. They didn’t take a dime. I was shocked.

“There is nobody that will get to the hospital that will not shed tears. If it is because of how we speak, we will not stop. If it is because of Amotekun, we will give them more footings in terms of equipment.

“Part of where we need you is we want Amotekun to carry arms. You spoke about state police, there is no going back. We need to say it, it is part of a restructuring. This is beyond community policing. We need state-based policing.” The Governor said.
