NORTHERN GROUPS UNVEIL OPERATION SHEGE KA FASA IN KADUNA

COALITION OF NORTHERN GROUPS UNVEILS INDIGENUS SECURITY OUTFIT 'OPERATION SHEGE KA FASA' IN KADUNA

The Coalition of Northern Groups unveiled the symbols of Operation Shege Ka Fasa, the zone-specific security outfit that will be responsible for tackling kidnapping and banditry.

The outfit, which is similar to the indigenous security outfit of the Southwest, Amotekun, would be formally inaugurated in the coming weeks when all necessary legal processes might have been formally adopted and ratified by the Northern states’ Governors. However, unlike the Southwest security outfit, Operation Amotekun, which was greeted with fanfare when it was launched in Ibadan, Oyo State on January 9, 2020; the unveiling of Shege Ka Fasa had no dignitaries from the region present.

Shege Ka Fasa, which literally translates to “I dare you” in Hausa is designed to be the vanguard of the entire North encompassing every ethnic group and religion and to be deeply patriotic in its operation. It is symbolized by a roaring lion, displaying strength.

Speaking at the Arewa House in Kaduna, the spokesman for the CNGs,  AbdulAzeez Sulieman said, “If the state governments and other leaders of the region fail to take action to protect the region the way their southern counterparts are doing, CNG is willing to follow through with all the processes of obtaining the required legal backing for the outfit from the relevant federal authorities. We resolved to formalise this request by writing to the governors through the Northern Governors Forum and to the leaderships of traditional, religious and cultural institutions in the region.”
