Hot SourceThree operatives of the Ondo State Security Network Agency, also known as Amotekun Corps, have been suspended over remarks they allegedly made against the agency on social media.
The operatives were identified as Taiwo Abu, Victor Akinsipe and Julius Akinjumi.
According to the commander of the Corps, Adetunji Adeleye, the erring officers were sponsored to distract the attention of the agency from its mandate.
The Corps commander disclosed this while parading some suspects in Akure, the state capital.
Adeleye, who declared the officers wanted, stated that the operatives, who made some false remarks about the Corps on social media, neglected their oath of secrecy.
“Every organisation has its own rules; the Ondo State Security Network Agency is not an exception. The law setting up the Corps specifically says the Corps should give out identity cards and warrant cards for operatives who are full staff of the government as an agency.
“All that you had seen on the social media on the 15 points they raised are all false allegations, and disciplinary actions had been put in place by the Corps.
“And as we stand today, the three of them have been reprimanded. We refused to be dragged into the controversies surrounding each and every one of them.
“As you can see, the entire management staff is ensuring that we are not distracted. They are acting in isolation.”
