Osun Amotekun Warns Against Secret Society Activities on 7/07/25: Vows Strong Enforcement of the Law Against Any Threat to Public Peace
The Osun Amotekun Corps has issued a strong warning against any attempts by cult groups or secret societies to hold meetings or engage in any form of activity that may threaten the peace and security of the state.
This cautionary note was issued by the Corps Commander of Osun Amotekun, Chief Dr. Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele, through an official statement released to the press in Osogbo on Monday, July 7. The Commander emphasized the unwavering commitment of the Corps to ensuring the safety and stability of Osun State, particularly in light of intelligence suggesting that some groups may attempt to exploit this date for clandestine or unlawful gatherings.
Commander Omoyele categorically warned that the state government, through its security architecture, will not tolerate any individual or group attempting to disturb the peace under the guise of cultural or secret celebrations.
He stated that, "Any person or group planning to hold meetings or carry out activities associated with secret cults or societies will be met with the full weight of the law. Osun State is a land of peace, and we will not allow any elements to disrupt the harmony we have worked so hard to build."
He further urged residents of Osun State to go about their daily activities without fear, reassuring the public that the Amotekun Corps, in collaboration with other security agencies, is fully mobilized and strategically deployed across the state to respond swiftly to any signs of unrest.
"We want to make it abundantly clear," Omoyele said, "that anyone caught engaging in cult-related activities will face immediate arrest and prosecution. There will be zero tolerance for actions that threaten the security of lives and property."
He also encouraged citizens to remain vigilant and to promptly report any suspicious activities to the nearest security post.
The Commander concluded by reaffirming the Corps’ dedication to preserving law and order in Osun State, noting that security is a shared responsibility between the government and the people.
