Following an alleged raid on his workshop, Osogbo-based auto mechanic Alhaji Babatunde Oyetunji has called the statement issued by Amotekun leadership denying the attack a blatant lie.
Reacting to the statement on Saturday, Oyetunji said it confirms the Amotekun Corps as an embodiment of propaganda, unworthy of a reputable security outfit in the state.
Earlier, the Amotekun Corps Media Department, in a statement signed by its spokesperson Yusuf Idowu Abass, had denied involvement in the alleged raid and called on the public to disregard the information.
However, Oyetunji expressed disappointment, describing the denial as behavior unworthy of a noble security formation like Amotekun. He asserted that this denial demonstrates the outfit’s lack of integrity, honor, and dignity, and announced his intention to pursue legal action.
“I am disappointed in the behavior unworthy of a noble security formation like Amotekun for outrightly denying being involved in the raid on my workshop,” Oyetunji said. “With this outright denial, I can say emphatically that the security outfit has now become an embodiment of propaganda and is not befitting of a reputable security outfit in the state. I am going to challenge the security outfit in a competent court of law.”
In response to the allegations, Osun Amotekun’s Public Relations Officer, Yusuf Idowu Abass, issued a statement denying the raid. “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,” Abass said.
Oyetunji emphasized that no effort would be spared to expose the alleged attack on his person and privacy by the Amotekun Corps.
