‎Osun State Amotekun Office Now a ‘Den of Murderers– Sen. Francis Fadahunsi Declares

‎

‎The lawmaker representing Osun East Senatorial District, Francis Fadahunsi, has said he was behind the sealing of Osun Amotekun operational base in Osogbo and Ife.

‎

‎OSUN DEFENDER reports that some police officers from the Intelligence Response Team, Force Headquarters, Abuja, on Wednesday, stormed the operation base of Osun Amotekun Corps in Oke-Fia and Ile-Ife and arrested 20 personnel of the corps over the killings at Akinlalu community.

‎

‎It would be recalled that residents of Akinlalu, a community in Ife-North Local Government had alleged operatives of Osun Amotekun of storming the town and killing four people.

‎

‎Also, the Osun State Police Command said the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has taken over the case.

‎

‎The command also said five people have been arrested in connection with the killings in the community.

‎

‎Speaking with newsmen, Fadahunsi confirmed that he was behind the sealing of the Amotekun offices, adding that the place has become the home of ‘murderers’.

‎

‎The lawmaker said the security outfit has lost its purpose, noting that Amotekun was to protect the territorial integrity of the state and not terrorise the residents.

‎

‎He further stated that 12 people have allegedly been killed by Amotekun personnel in Ife/Ijesa senatorial district in the last 10 months, adding that he can no longer keep quiet while his people are being killed.

‎

‎He said, “The Amotekun office has become the home of murderers, not protecting the community. The Amotekun officers are disturbing the peace of the state.
