He came and met me around NTA and I told him that we have handed them over to the police at Yemetu . I won ’t mention the name . He is SA to the governor , some are chairmen, some are lawmakers who seek such a favour . ”
When asked whether the governor ’s aides were behind the unrest in the state capital , the Amotekun commander responded as , “That is what we are saying .”
