“On July 29, 2024, a group of approximately twenty armed men, masquerading as Amotekun Corps, stormed a mechanic workshop in Osogbo, Osun State, in Hilux vans around 10 am.
The suspected hoodlums made off with three vehicles and spare parts valued at millions of naira, according to reports by The Nation.”
They were said to have spent hours at the place, towing three vehicles belonging to customers.
Babatunde Oyetunji, the owner of a mechanic workshop in Osogbo, Osun State, reported that armed hoodlums disguised as Amotekun operatives stole three vehicles with new engines and gears from his workshop on July 29, 2024. He described the incident as a “huge siege” and called on the Inspector General of Police to investigate the misuse of Amotekun uniforms for the crime.
However, Abass Yusuf, the Public Relations Officer of Amotekun in Osun State, denied the allegations, stating that the Corps was not involved in the incident. He described the reports as “libelous” and “entirely false,” and urged the public to disregard the news. Yusuf warned that the Corps would take action against those spreading false information to damage its reputation.
The conflicting accounts have raised questions about the authenticity of the incident and the involvement of Amotekun operatives. Further investigation is needed to determine the truth behind the allegations.
