Osun Corps Commander: Amontekun Not A Child Play, Some Women Acted Like Men


  


The Osun Online Publishers Association (OOPA) received Dr. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele, the Corps Commander in Osun, at its secretariat yesterday during the 7th Media Parley Edition in the state capital, Osogbo, on Thursday, March 20, 2025.





Dr. Adekunle responded to inquiries from seasoned reporters by saying, "One of the security network's responsibilities is to combat insurgency in the state, rather than sitting down in office for paperwork."  


Speaking about the hiring process, he barred that the security network is not a child play, Some people managed to understand the theory, but by the time we got to the actual practical, the nature of the job cannot be cheated, it was the pregnant people amongst who revealed their circumstances. 


"Some women are good at handling weapons, mounting road blocks, arrest fellon, we trained them how they should enter the bush, I know that we are having the best, within timeframe result would come out. 


He went on by saying, ''We all know that security is the business of government of the day, I love our trainees because they adjusted to standard. We made significant progress last year, and I'm sure many people are curious about the secret we employ to make so many arrests, he stated.

The police and I are working really well together, therefore, I would want to thank them. We meet every month at the governor's office in Abere.  

The Western governors at the time took the initiative to establish Amontekun in order to carry out the duties of other security agencies, particularly the police.



"As our previous warriors, including Onikoyi, Obatala, Kunrunmi, and Ogunmola, have done in the past, Amontekun has inherited the traditional methods of protecting their people," he said.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
