However, Amechi in his statement said, “If others are forming their own security organizations and the South-East governors feel their own security organization is the one that will be supervised by the Inspector General of Police, it shows the kind of people and governments we have.”
He further stated that the South-East governors are not concerned about security, because they are protected.
