Media Report Claiming Traditional Chiefs Were Arrested In Atakumosa LG ‘Untrue’–Osun Amotekun Corps

Media Report Claiming Traditional Chiefs Were Arrested In Atakumosa LG ‘Untrue’–Osun Amotekun Corps

A media report claiming that members of Amotekun Corps in Osun State carried out coordinated arrest of residents of Atakumosa East Local Government especially Itapa has been described as ‘untrue’.

A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by Mr  Yusuf Abass, who is the spokesman for the corps, said the media report in question is entirely false and baseless while asserting that no traditional chief was arrested by the organization.

‘The attention of the Osun State Amotekun Corps has been drawn to a malicious and misleading report titled ‘Osun Amotekun Begins Massive Arrest of APC Members in Atakumosa’, which falsely claimed that traditional chiefs in Itapa, Atakumosa East Local Government Area, were arrested and detained by the Corps.

We categorically state that no member of the Amotekun Corps arrested any community chief in Itapa or anywhere else in Atakumosa East local government. The allegations contained in the said report are entirely false and baseless, and designed to undermine the integrity, neutrality, and professionalism of the Osun Amotekun Corps.

The report in question appears to be a deliberate fabrication intended to politicize security matters and mislead the public. This is not only dangerous but capable of inciting distrust, tension, and unnecessary panic within the community.

We urge the public to disregard this misleading publication in its entirety. The Osun Amotekun Corps remains committed to its lawful duty of safeguarding the lives and property of all residents, irrespective of political affiliation, religious background, or social status.

We also advise media platforms and individuals behind such unfounded allegations to desist from disseminating unverified and harmful information. Security matters must never be trivialized or politicized’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
