The Osun State Security Network and Amotekun Corps have issued a statement to address and clarify recent allegations made against the security outfit by chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, specifically Remi Omowaiye and Prince Adeleke Banik.
The statement accredited to the two APC leaders accused Amotekun of orchestrating the actions of hoodlums, the Osun Amotekun Corps asserts, completely that the allegations are baseless, unfounded, and entirely false.
To set the record straight, the Osun Amotekun Corps categorically denies any involvement in facilitating criminal activity or attacking citizens. The allegations of Amotekun’s involvement with hoodlums or carrying out violent actions with firearms are grossly misleading and unfounded. The Amotekun personnel were simply performing their routine patrols alongside with the police and other security agencies, as part of their core mission to protect the lives and properties of the people of Osun State.
The Osun Amotekun Corps reiterates that its operations are strictly non-partisan, with no allegiance to any political party. The sole purpose of the Corps is to safeguard the security and well-being of all citizens and residents of the state, irrespective of their political affiliation. The security of lives and properties in Osun is of paramount importance and is not negotiable.
The statement also emphasizes that the allegations made by the APC chieftains are completely false and should not be taken seriously by the general public. The Amotekun Corps is a government-established agency that has played a crucial role in the security framework of the state since its inception.
In light of this, the Osun Amotekun Corps calls on those spreading these harmful and false accusations to immediately cease and desist from further disseminating any misleading information.
We remain committed to our mission of ensuring the safety and security of all the people of Osun State, as we have always done, and will continue to do so without bias or political influence.
