Three Ondo Amotekun Operatives Declared Wanted
The Ondo State Security Network, agency codenamed Amotekun, has declared three of its officers wanted for alleged gross misconduct.
The announcement was made by the Ondo Amotekun commander, Chief Adetunji Adeleye, on Monday while parading some suspected criminals.
Adeleye said, “Intelligence showed that the three (declared wanted) have been sponsored not only to undermine and disparage the management of the Corps, but totally to distract the attention of the Corps from its core mandate of the provision of security to lives and properties.
“We refused to be dragged into the controversies surrounding each and every one of them.
“But the fact remains that they are acting in isolation and the Ondo State Security Network Agency, Amotekun Corp, remains solid as you can see. The entire management staff in ensuring that we are not distracted. They are acting in isolation.
“The three of them had been suspended from the Corps and we are looking for them to come and answer, as a way of giving them free access to criminal justice.
“If they are innocent, everybody will see. But the Corps as an entity will not be dragged into social media controversy with such people that are acting in isolation. Especially now that we are sure and we have proof to show that they are being sponsored.”
