Provide Evidence Of Assassination Attempt On Your Life – Police To Osun Amotekun Boss
Osun State Police Command has asked the Osun State Commander of the Amotekun Corps, Isaac Omoyele, to provide proof of an alleged attempt on his life by some yet-to-be-identified gunmen.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that the spokesperson of Osun Amotekun Corps, Idowu Yusuf, earlier in a statement on Tuesday, announced that Omoyele was attacked by gunmen while driving home after the close of work on Monday.
The statement said Omoyele was attacked along Ikirun Road in Kobo Area, Osogbo, while driving home in his private vehicle at about 10:05 pm.
“I had left the office, driving home with my two-door vehicle. When I got to Kobo, some armed men suddenly appeared in a moving vehicle, double side by side with my car and started firing.
“Their faces were covered, and before I could react, they opened fire on my vehicle. Bullets riddled the car. I didn’t stop. I kept driving through the hail of gunfire. I was hit, but I managed to escape,” the statement quoted Omoyele as saying.
The Osun Police Command spokesperson, Abiodun Ojelabi, while providing an update when contacted by PUNCH Online, said the incident was reported by Omoyele.
Ojelabi, however, said the investigation has not commenced as Omoyele has not come up with proof that an attempt was made to kill him.
He said, “According to the report he (Omoyele) made that he was attacked, the police have gone to the scene and we have told him to come along with the vehicle.
“He will have to produce the vehicle and other things to prove the incident before we can talk of an investigation.”
