The six houses of assembly in the South-West have agreed to jointly adopt a single legal document which would make the operation of Amotekun security outfit uniform across the zone.

The Chairman, Conference of Speakers of South-West states, Oleyelogun Bamidele David, gave the indication at a meeting of the conference in Ibadan on Wednesday.

According to Oleyelogun, the uniformity of the bill would ensure a synergy of operation in terms of working relationship, intelligence sharing, training and others among the Amotekun corps across the six collaborating states for effective security operation and management.

The chairman explained that the conference would not rest until an acceptable law, which would give full legal backing to the security outfit, is passed.

The meeting provided opportunity for the South-West Speakers to meet with states attorneys-general on observations, suggestions and conflicting areas identified during the public hearings conducted recently by each state.

There were clause by clause deliberation of the various  suggestions, observations and conflicting areas and points raised at the public hearing.
