The Osun Amotekun Corps has responded to allegations made by Babatunde Oyetunji, an Osogbo-based auto mechanic, claiming that the Corps raided his workshop and stole vehicles and spare parts worth millions of naira.
We have been made aware of a social media publication containing libelous allegations against the Osun Amotekun Corps, which we must correct to prevent the spread of misinformation.
The publication falsely alleged that Osun Amotekun Corps invaded Oyetunji’s workshop on Ring Road, Osogbo, and stole vehicles and spare parts. We wish to inform the public that Osun Amotekun Corps was not involved in this act, and the news is entirely false.
We urge the public to disregard the news published by some bloggers, as Osun Amotekun did not invade any workshop in Osogbo as alleged.
This publication appears to be part of a campaign to damage Osun Amotekun’s reputation and bring it into public contempt. We urge the promoters of this publication to cease publishing false news aimed at tarnishing the reputation and achievements of Osun Amotekun Corps.
The Corps will not take it lightly with anyone alleging the outfit falsely without getting facts from the Corps before publication, to serve as deterrent to others whose their motive is to damage the reputation of the Corps.
