The Osun State Security Network codenamed Amotekun Corps has announced the recovery of a vehicle and some electronic gadgets stolen by a gang of armed robbers at a hotel in Ode Omu, a town in the state.

The spokesperson for the Amotekun Corps in the state, Idowu Abbas, in a statement on Tuesday, said the vehicle and the stolen items were recovered in Ogere town in Ogun State.

Abbas explained that the Amotekun operatives engaged in an exchange of gunfire with the robbers before the vehicle was recovered, noting that men and officers of the Federal Road Safety Corps also assisted them in the operation.

Explaining further how the items and vehicle were stolen and recovered, Abbas said, “The incident occurred in the early hours of last Saturday, when a group of armed robbers stormed a hotel in Ode-Omu, where the victims from Lagos had lodged overnight to attend a funeral ceremony.

During the attack, the assailants carted away a Toyota Matrix vehicle valued at approximately N7m along with six LG 42-inch televisions worth over N3m.

The victims promptly reported the incident to the Amotekun Corps Command in Ayedaade Local Government, Gbongan.

Acting swiftly, operatives from the local and state commands launched a coordinated tracking operation.

The hot engagement received from Amotekun operatives diverted the hoodlums to Ogere in Ogun State, where they abandoned the stolen vehicle in the nearby bush, with other stolen items. Some of the perpetrators are believed to have escaped with gunshot wounds.”

Commenting, the Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps, Mr Adekunle Omoyele, lauded the courage and precision of the operatives, adding that “The success of this operation is a clear indication of Amotekun’s commitment to safeguarding the lives and property of citizens in Osun State,” Omoyele said.

“We also acknowledge the support of the FRSC Ogere Command for their collaboration in achieving this feat. The recovered items were brought back to Osogbo and formally handed over to their rightful owners on Monday by the Corps’ Operations Commander, Olagunju Joseph, at the Amotekun Headquarters Operation Base."

I'm not understanding. Wetin concern road safety with armed robbery?
Any body robbing or snatching vehicle in Ogun state is an idiot. Where is the road you want to use and escape? That state has the worst roads in Nigeria.

God bless Amotekun.

I wish the North West can form their own Amotekun, banditry would have been reduced.

Nigeria alone.
Amotekun, ESN,

EFCC, ICPC
Vio, frsc, lastma , task force.
And many more.

Lots of forces and parastatals that should be merge as one will split and be doing same job .


If Police is very effective, Their won't be Amotekun in the first place . We don't have confidence in the NPF.
KUDUS to you, Amotekun jare!

They don't really care about insecurity, their major concern is whether people are drinking alcohol and what style of haircuts their men are carrying.
