Alleged Amotekun raid: Osun mechanic vows to seek legal redress

An Osogbo-based auto mechanic, Babatunde Oyetunji has stated that he intends to seek legal redress over alleged attack on his workshop by personnel of Osun Amotekun.

This is as he described as a blatant lie the statement credited to Osun Amotekun denying an attack on his workshop.

Oyetunji had alleged that his workshop in Osogbo was attacked by persons he identified as Amotekun Osun personnel last week Monday.

Meanwhile, the Osun Amotekun in a statement by its spokesperson, Yusuf Idowu on Saturday denied the allegation.

The security outfit called on the members of the public to disregard the allegation as it was a blatant lie.

“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.”

Reacting to the statement, Oyetunji said it has further confirmed the Amotekun Corps as an embodiment of propaganda.

While expressing disappointment, Oyetunji noted that the outright denial of the raid by Amotekun showed that the outfit was devoid of integrity, honour and dignity.

He said, “I have assembled my legal counsels and concluded plans to institute litigations against Amotekun.

“With this outright denial, I can say emphatically that the security outfit has now become an embodiment of propaganda.

“I am going to challenge the security outfit at a competent court of law.”

Oyetunji added that no effort would be spared to expose the dastardly act on his person and privacy by Osun Amotekun.
