Osun Amotekun Now Have Special Squads Which Includes Anti-cultism, Anti-robbery, Special protection Services and Agro-rangers - Omoyele 

Osun Amotekun Corps Commander, Dr. Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele has disclosed that there are recent innovations within the corps, which includes anti-cultism, anti-robbery, special protection services, and agro-rangers to enhance security operations.

The corps commander disclosed this while featuring on the 7th edition of Osun Online Publishers Association Monthly Media Parley themed The role of Amotekun in Combating Insecurity; Challenges And Prospects, which took place at the association's secretariat at Ajegunle, Osogbo on Thursday.

He noted that as part of its expansion, the Osun Amotekun Corps plans to establish an agro-ranger unit to provide security for farmers and farmlands against criminal activities, also special protect service for citizens who felt their lives in in danger.

On the issue of state policing, Omoyele described it as a welcome idea, saying opposition to it was based on selfish interests rather than public welfare.

“Legislation will determine the structure of state police and define their duties and limits,” he added.

Omoyele disclosed that Amotekun has the legal authority to prosecute criminal cases.

“Once we complete our investigations, we hand over the case file to the Attorney General for further legal action,” he said.
