The warrior chief of Yorubaland, the Aare Ona Kakanfo, Gani Adams is said not to be taking it lightly with critics of Operation Amotekun, the security initiative created by the governors of the Southwest on January 9.
A report by Vanguard newspaper claimed that the former leader of the Oodua Peoples Congress, told the audience at a southwest security summit at The Grand Place event centre in Osogbo, Osun state capital on Friday, January 31 those working against Amotekun will die suddenly.
Adams noted that the southwest would not allow the initiative to die rather those fighting for its death would die suddenly.
He revealed further that the people of the southwest are behind the initiative and the governors who created it and so it was a popular movement that must stay.
