Several people believe that the operation Amotekun force is full of herbalists that don’t get trained on tactical conduct that other Nigerian forces exhibited. such thoughts are often transferred through communication by some unconscious minds.

Yet, let me carefully disclose to you that the western security Network, codenamed  Operation Amotekun, their officers are trained by competent officers from known forces like the police force, civil defense force, etc. Moreover, the officers selected to train the newly recruited member could be friendly or wicked, their moods depend on how the trainees are behaving.

After the recruitment, the first two months to build officers of the Amotekun force, ushering in a taste of solid training. But none is as special as watching them perform during their passing out parades.

Going by the Amotekun terminology, the grand commander is identified as the zero zero of the force. Making him the number one person in the force.

Under the grand commanders, the officers can now spread their wings to localize areas, I should say that this is the major force that is ready for any fights in terms of equipment, charms, manpower, and techniques, in combating the terrorist or crimes in the state.

One of the silliest things people did,  is defining the force as an herbalist association or perhaps Mafia association, with the alleged that wounded officers are treated by an herbalist.

Little did they know, that there is a clinical ward at every headquarters where every member of the force gets treated by 24th-century doctors for free.

Amotekun Corps

The seniority in Amotekun from the first troops to the recent fourth, is similar to the doctrine of a boarding house, with only a difference that the officers are mature.

As a junior officer in the force, it is a must to respect your seniors, for any juniors who disobeyed his/her senior would get locked up or end up getting punished.

The Amotekun troop have been made to swear an oath of alliance and the troops were empowered by almost thirty herbalists, who strengthen them spiritually so they would always be successful in their operations while combating evils.

At this junction, I implore the citizen of the states to always cooperate with the Amotekun, to avoid being hit by a charm meant to subside criminals.

However, every criminal caught is brought to the headquarters, there are normally two cells at the headquarters, one for petty criminals and the other for the Harding ones.

The intelligence department of the forces deals with those criminals, the Department knows who to charge to court and who to acquit after carrying out thorough investigations.

Nevertheless, there is Certainty, That there are lots of drivers in the forces but only a few ticked the box that they would be driving, many didn’t come forward because of the ruling applied, even though, there are some benefits to driving the Amotekun vehicles.
