The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has condemned the alleged arrest, ethnic profiling, and threatened deportation of some Northern women by operatives of the Ondo State Security Network Agency, also known as Amotekun, describing the action as unconstitutional and discriminatory.

In a statement issued by its Board of Trustees Chairman, Alhaji Bashir M. Dalhatu, the Forum said it was disturbed by a viral video allegedly showing Amotekun operatives arresting, profiling, and publicly parading women identified as Hausa/Fulani residents engaged in lawful activities in Ondo State.

The ACF said if the incident was accurately represented, it amounted to a violation of the constitutional rights of Nigerian citizens and posed a threat to national unity.
