From Richard Akintade, Osogbo
Commander of Amotekun Corps in Osun State, Chief Adekunle Omoyele has affirmed that the security outfit is fully operational and firmly grounded in the law establishing it, declaring its readiness to confront insecurity across the state.
Speaking to journalists in Osogbo, Omoyele addressed the concerns surrounding internal challenges that affected the corps in the past year.
He clarified that all issues had been amicably resolved, emphasising that the organisation remains intact, stable and focused on its mandate.
“Osun Amotekun is backed by the law that established it and we are fully ready to confront insecurity. The misunderstandings we experienced have been resolved. There is no hindrance to our operations,” he stated.
The corps commander, who explained that disagreements were a natural part of human relationships, said “there is no way two brothers won’t have disagreements. Even friends have confrontations, but they resolve them. What we had was a minor misunderstanding and it has been settled. Everything is now normal and we are carrying out our duties lawfully and without interruption.”
Omoyele noted that recent security challenges in neighbouring states, particularly attacks by bandits, had served as a wake-up call for the corps, noting that these incidents had prompted the corps to reinforce its preparedness and strengthen its operational strategies against potential threats.
He also called on residents to remain vigilant and proactive in supporting security efforts.
“We urge citizens to stay security conscious and to look out for one another. Community cooperation is vital in maintaining peace and safety,” he said.
Reaffirming its commitment to safeguard lives and property, Omoyele assured residents of the corps continued dedication to maintain law and order throughout the state.
